Abounding for April
In lovely script,Christian sentiments--
profound or pablum--
on jouncy wall plaques.
Guards in Buchenwald,
and Auschwitz, in Philly's
Graterford “Experiment”*, still
celebrated Easter with
wives and
children.
*Many Graterford Prisoners, forced to speak to Jesus and never to each other: lonely, went insane.

Fires
Madge and Del taking the kids to
Coney Island for Easter, and Madge
tells her sister, Ev in Connecticut.
-That’s Jews and fairies!
-Well, there ARE old Russian Jews
sucking up sun in our stretch of
the boardwalk, and you can get
great blintzes!
With the other folks, you got things
mixed up with Fire Island.
-Yeah, that’s it. Fire Island. All fairies!
They’re on fire for it.
-Aren’t we all?
