Hebrew School Jaclyn Friedman <jaclynf@thecia.net> I. in hebrew school we learned Not to say the name of god (not knowing what happened if we did) we prayed our best phonetically adonai eloheinu avenu malkenu kadosh adonai our silent prayers sank with what we couldn’t say aloud   II. there were no better names for me only different keep your elbows in bull in a china shop ahead of your time fifteen going on fifty too big for your britches klutz ten pounds of potatoes in a five pound sack grandpa used to say and everyone would laugh but me     III. I cannot tell you my name Instead I tell you words never rub like realities touch like terrified strangers on trains. and I have always been like G-d and I do not know how now to stop.   Copyright 2000 Moxie Magazine All Rights Reserved
