Jazz is a religion,
but it’s a nice religion.
The faithful don’t pray together,

The Jew
Like a mad accountant
Trying to make sense out of a senseless ledger
Balancing the Holy Scriptures of his life
With double entry bookkeeping.
With good and with evil.
With reward and with punishment.
Juggling, the accounts
To make debit and credit meet.
To cover up
The latest overdraft on his agony.
But sometimes
In a moment of revulsion
In a moment of insidious sanity
He […]
