CHAINS*

I’m not a Jewish Ovid,
Or a Jewish Dante,
Or a Jewish Nietzsche…

But I am a Jewish link
– the first Jewish link –
In that beautiful chain…

Indeed,
We have started,
And prestigously participated in,
Many other glorious chains…

But I am our first link,
In the philosophipoetic chain,
Described above…
