Uri Sharon from Haifa visits the streets, sees the people, takes in the sights and is present in reality. He wrote about this:
א
You walked down the street, you saw what was happening:
Two people are talking and the third one is calling:
"I'll show you, you fucking maniac..."
For those seeking an interpretation: Take a dictionary and look it up.
ב
You are a mature and experienced person,
And you examine everything logically.
Immediately, directly and to the point,
Stops your walk; moves to the other side.
ג
On the sidewalk opposite Boca and Bolka:
A woman in distress screams and beats him.
Logic says in a rather shameful move:
"It's safest to stand in the middle of the road!"
ד
And if it's so scary, terrible and dangerous,
It's best to get as far away from here as possible.
To lie on the shore of the sea, quiet and silent,
But be careful that no shark comes.
ה
You immediately learn: I am not a man of the gospel,
And what I say is only intended to be bad.
Then you stop, wondering and also embarrassed:
How to free yourself from the tangle of the maze.
ו
You look away and your mind is quick to activate,
And all your thinking is terrible and frightening.
And then with a wild but important thought
I think maybe I should repent a little.
ז
To lie on the edge of the sea, to gaze at the sky,
And with the thoughts to move and flow.
And then maybe you'll hear from the beach waves
The voice of the rabbi, Rebbe Leibovitz.
ח
Whispers his sermon in a very evil voice.
He supports the good and opposes the bad.
But you are shocked: "What is that barbaric name?!"
Everything he said – he spoke in Yiddish!
ט
But you are so strange; so stupid:
Stops your progress in a rather restrictive way.
You were also circumcised a long time ago,
So how come you don't understand a single word of Yiddish?
י
I won't speak anymore, because I have nothing to say.
You are to blame for your situation being so bitter.
So let's change the subject; it's better to shut up already,
And in basic English, we'll start here with "Small Talk."
