why tunnels?
ask the mishna talmud and zohar
as they snake beneath the aching intellect
of a learning complex
why let tzitzis fly in a subterranean draft
dangling yiddish and russian assimilations
are cell phones permitted below ground
who lights gas lights on shabbas
what does the halacha say about crockpots
or the safe holding temperature
when tunnels are for passing through unseen
death birth consumption regurgitation
singing is it alive? our compassion for tunnels
whether they hold hostage
the imaginations or concrete pains
i have to imagine that beneath the earth
is a house of learning where all tunnels lead
and the sojourners bear their true or false
righteousness like bruises from a fight with gravity
