Lapping keystrokes of the woman beside me,
deferring her future Socratically,
Jewish basis,
not that I have a problem with the faith part.
It could be any religion,
rooted in tradition,
concrete
eternal.
She following questions to find where
she's going with
her tradition.
I'd ask what the hell was so frustrating
about her rabbi's aptitude test
so I could make conversation, but I
already
told her
I'd stay out of her business.
It's good for me to know
this stuff so I can tell myself
I'm not crazy like how I'm not
deteriorating, the voices are
lying, and she's not leaving me
by next week.
But she's just typing.
I'm reading and writing in Chinaski's book I got
for Chrismas. That's pretty much it.
