d’Verse prosery
I’ll not think of you at breakfast; this morning is a different thing. Still, I’d rather not have blueberry pancakes with whipped cream today. Also, I’ll not think of you while shopping on Thursday for Shabbat Friday night dinner; this week is a different thing; but… I don’t think I’ll purchase your favorite matzo ball mix again. And when I’m out on our nightly stroll, admiring the pregnant moon flirting from behind those Jerusalem clouds, I’ll not think of you. This month is a different thing… But I shan’t whistle Van Morrison’s ‘Moondance’ as we once did together.
Now that I think of it, you might like to know that I’ve purchased tickets for me and the kids to visit my folks for Passover, as we’ve always done, but I’m feeling quite certain that this year’s a different thing- I’ll not think of you.
