The Things I Forget

Kathi Wolfe
Email: KathiWolfe@aol.com


Talmudic tradition holds that blind people can

quote from scripture with particular accuracy.

As a child, I didn't study

the Bible much. Groucho

Marx was the saint in our

house. My blind mind's eye

saw the Holy Book

through a fun house mirror:

God, holding my white cane,

jumped out of a burning bush

in Fredonia. Abraham, Isaac

and Joseph smoked cigars:

I don't mean to be a fly

in the rabbinic ointment.

But I forget what I ate for lunch

today (peanut butter or tuna?),

what you wore when we met

(jeans and a red t-shirt?),

how old you were when you died.
