"kibbutz" poems
Do I take you with me on this adventure I have been planning all my life?
On my journey I have dreamt of in math classes, late nights in bed,
and on lazy Sunday afternoons in the sun?
My plans for my adventure have never been static and have constantly changed over my few young years...
In my mind I have gone to Art school in Paris and backpacking through Morrocco and teaching in Costa Rica and done the Inca trail in Peru and spent time at a Kibbutz in Israel and volunteered in India and sailed all the Seven Seas...
Now as I stand on the presipice of my Epic Journey,
not afraid, but invigorated, I have a choice;
I can go alone; strong, fearless, ready to embrace the wolrd with arms wide open, wings spread and nothing and no one to hold me back from my dreams...
Or I can take you with me, share my adventure with you, and start a new journey that includes you?
We could make a path, you and I, through the world, where ever we choose to go, make our own adventure, new dicoveries... and have a very long journey together, and instead of worrying about old plans, make new memories.
Would you like to come with me on my adventure, my love?
Will you start a journey with me?

As a kid, my best days had a trip to the park
in summer,
when Mother had time after work
and it didn't get dark so fast
we rode bikes on the paths between broken glass,
watched for stray dogs
(and avoided the grass)
once we saw two men strolling, holding hands
and Mother said not to stare,
"They must be Europeans - they do things like that"
her best friend was Mrs. Cohen-Around-The-Corner
they could cluck across our rough fence out back
or toss apples to one another
were there an apple tree nearby
(but there wasn't)
so they used the telephone instead
the woman, she once told me,
"would just die"
if her only son ever brought home
"a shiksa"
I laughed at the word,
because it sounded sounded funny and ethnic
(Mrs. Cohen taught English)
she let her boy back-talk,
even express profanity
in graffiti on a bedroom door
with black permanent marker
(it could always be repainted later, she explained)
mine met reason with
quick backhands or glowering looks;
once even washed my mouth out
with soap
so I nodded in agreement
I revisited the old neighborhood,
to the teacher long retired;
showed wallet photos
and discussed our health
(hers mostly),
hearing accounts of the son away
years at kibbutz,
too busy to call regularly
or make any grandchildren yet
I didn't mention the trip to the park
which was neater than I remember
the kids played tag
(on the grass!)
until a skinned knee needed a kiss;
where I'm certain I'd seen him, now balding,
the kid from around the corner,
holding hands with a European

i want to humbly live
with the eskimos
or in a kibbutz or
in a time when
most of the people around
were nomadic
with no attachment
to a real home.
to a big home.
i wanna be
where people
live in huts
by the sea
i wanna wake up
and see
palm trees
i don’t care
if i slept on the beach
the night before;
i realized last night
in my bed
that i’m always
where i’ll be.
right here.
i wanna wake up
and see
something
beautiful
i don’t want
beautiful
to be a ghastly
rendition of
“luxury”
i wanna be free
like what a bird is
to the wind
i wanna dig in
to the roots
of where i
come from…
…where we all
come from
i’m gonna
remember
what it’s like
to be one
somewhere
down the line
we lost the fact the
earth is our home
i don’t
wanna wake up
groveling
by my marble topped
counter top
weeping
because the red final
notice form
says to me
i’m leaving
that is not beautiful
did nomads even
know
that feeling?
i’d rather deal
with illiteracy
over our raging prideful
human stupidity
i wanna see the people
rise
instead of claw at the
quiet desperation
eating at them raw
i wanna see the people
love
like they don’t know
what greed looks like
like they could get up
and get their waiter
a drink
ever think of that?
let’s get her
off her feet
let’s make it easier
for her
instead of harder
where
can we meet
in the middle?
when can
we shine
the black mans
shoes or kiss
the land of
the pyramids
when
can we bring it
all in?
what happened
to the Brotherhood
of man?
what happened
to man?
we are not
the nomads;
we are a
whole new
species…
we are not
the same as when
we were young –
when God created us
out of universal will to become
before we found out
what greed felt like;
we are not the same
jeez
how we have changed the game

I wish I had a vista of the past
and could still hear the squawking hens
in their Kibbutz hatches
under some 1982 azure sky
I wish I were a hippie
and could permanently hear acetate music from 1967
dressed in kaftan
smoking Moroccan ***
forever young
If I were to be a poet
id gap in the missing years
and candy floss the past
between youngster hood and my near 60 years

Fatima Showkat,
with a caring heart
wherever oppressed Palestinians at.
Fatima, a Showkat
raising her Palestinian flag
and if she needed to defend others
would use a cat virtuous herself bat.
Fatima Showkat, a cat of purebred
bred from parents of the same looking, pro human rights activists for those too many unfed
a bred we recognize, a strand we know, Fatima Showkat
nurtured from Muslim communities of the same front stage act.
Mahdi's beautiful cat at a show turned beloved household pet
and one of Kibbutz Blinken's best fighting for justice and equality winning bet
purring No to settlements on a stolen land
hissing No US taxpayers' dollars to Biden's and Blinken's right filthy hand.
Showkat's water bowl filled of fake blood to dump swiftly on US Secretary of State rolling in corruption and lies command,
she with his hated Atefeh 'Rockband'
hardworking, repeated meowing, awarded pedigreed
chasing ***** of red, black, white, and green yarn and running with her fellow active kibbutz cats to successfully proceed.
Pro ALLAH's Adl, pure blooded Showkat is regularly scratching the rug of Zionism and colonialism
Her low-pitched meowing and long stretches to put an end to Israel's terrorism
Jumping at times and when necessary slow moving in the day or in the night
with her eyes glowing to outstare and rebuke America's funded Zionist imperialism.
Fatima, a Showkat worth thousands of ajr
purring, finding her cat's paws' way wholeheartedly with the people of Palestine
to God's heavenly canopy at dawn or fajr.
Fatima Showkatian,
the Showkat for the fight for oppressed peoples' freedom
we applaud you, Kat, for the world knows your bravesome
and it is better for your sacrificial bigsome.

(When reading this poem, it's fitting to pronounce 'Salman' using the Arabic pronunciation.)
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Tellin' Gaza I understand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Fighting by taking a stand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, tellin' Gaza we understand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, fighting by taking a stand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
An Athan telling the world, we must take command
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Prepping us for prayer, prayer/a daily ritual, which is supposed to help us to assert, Oppressors we're not a fan
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, tellin' Gaza I understand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, fighting by taking a stand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Tellin' Gaza we understand
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
Announcing 'God is Greater than', 'God is more Important than', 'God is more Significant than', 'God is more Powerful than' Trump's and Netanyahu's clan
Salman, Kibbutz Blinken's Athan Man
With his Athan, insisting, Palestine, take my hand
