Drawing
Lately
I've been feeling
disconnected
lost
in a malaise
my rosh yeshiva
prescribed a regimen
of doing "non-kadosh"
activities
and not killing
my yiddishkeit
with all night
chavrusas
so I started writing again
and taking sketchbook
expeditions
to coffeeshops
and he was right
but now I drink
too much coffee So I'm in the park
watching the frumdating
and sketching
just when I'd almost finished
one of my "models"
walked up to me:
"מה אתה רוצה!"
oh no
*what's the infinitive for "to draw"?*
*לימשוך?*
*aarghhh!!!*
so I pointed and pantomimed
the girl he was on a date with
liked the picture
so I gave it to them...
next time I'll go in camouflage
