I wrote it after a hard day

Kafka had a sense of humor I have read.
I think there is a yiddish haiku in their somewhere
schlepper
schlepping his cross

The New Jews say they got a solution

Not sure about the question you asked 'bout the old Jews, Jack. I think the old Jews doing just fine. It's like Jack the Ripper said, "The Jews are not the ones to be blamed forever." It's a strange place the world is & we are strangers on it. I was following the bunny trail last night out on the Web & I landed on this site where the folk were all speakin' language new to me the way they were using it & I came away from there cracklin' with it. Hell, it spun off a poem that I posted in creative writing for H. Jesus Carpenter's sake which is something I don't do much often but I knew I had something & had to ring the bell.
I was all stirred up as my uncle says it. Anyways..."new Jews" was just something that popped out of my storm as I was writing that poem. If it has a meaning apart from what I was using it for I'm unacquainted with it. For me it was an image part & parcel of what & where I was going with the poem. Your "Night In Texas" piece was the first wave of inspiration for it all.

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
