TIKKUN OLAM

TIKKUN OLAM

(for Bill Patz)

As if

we needed

anything else

to do

Repair the world

As if

we weren’t

busy enough

already

Perfect Creation

And so

I sit

eyes closed

hands on knees

back straight

feet flat on the floor

Tikkun Olam-ing

yes

and for now -

Dayenu.

Tikkun Olam:  Perfecting creation; repairing the world.

Dayenu:  It would have been sufficient; it is enough.)
