i joined the Hebrew faith
on Wednesday, the 20th of March,
or whatever the day is on
the 20th of March...
     Purim...
            you know... that holiday
when all the orthodox Jews
get drunk... silly drunk...
    on one glass of wine...
(insert snigger)...
         i thought the celebration was
so grand... i extended it for
the rest of the year, and the subsequent
year...
        how can i be a Hebrew
to begin with? i was baptized,
i chose not to be confirmed
    (read too much into gnostic heresies
early on in life)...
   and i haven't been circumcised
(protruding veins... i'd be dead by then,
and now)...
   no no... i just like the geometry of
the Hebrews' god's name:
    Y         oh look... the famous cornerstone.
