Drums

beside the simple
boom-chik boom-boom
blasting out of over-amped
stereo systems passing the kikar
two men with drums
weave a complex
poly-rhythmic
pattern
taunting the body
to respond
with not just a tapped foot
or nod of the head

why is it that the only "jewish dance" is walking around in a circle... *sigh*


I am addicted
to looking
at who's looking at me,
today I discovered
that someone from Vilna
read my blog.
if only it was because
of something I wrote
about the Gaon
instead of
navel gazing
and a-cappella Michael Jackson.
dare i write about "important things"?
