A day in town
Just after leaving Cafe Nero we saw some police approaching.
Excuse me. madam,.Are you Muslim?
No.I always wear cotton in hot weather.Unless I am making cheese.
Sorry. he said.How do you worship?
I think you need a Rabbi to tell you that
So you are Jewish?
No.you are,kind sir.,
How do you know,he said in wonder.I have no kippah on
As you have a big hat on like Leonard Cohen ~I deduced you were another of those Cohens.They are all descebded from Aaron,you know. He was Moses’ brotherThere must be a few hundred of you.
I fear you have made a logical error,madam.
As long as I don’t make an error of the heart,I don’t bother about logic.I said jauntily
Surely we need both a heart and a head,he asked me questioningly.
Definitely,but why are you here? I demanded politically
That’s what God said to Elijah on the mountain, he murmured
And what did Elijah say,I enquired superstitiously
I heard you calling me.
Oh,Lord
How my heart sings
