Ari

Before meeting Noa

Ari had slept with his teacher

On many occasions

To gain better marks

In his final exams

He was very proud of his university place

 

Noa

Clung to her virginity

Despite many offers to steal it away

She masturbated a great deal

As not to be tempted

And because of this

Was not granted a university place

She now works in a care home

 

Noa & Ari

Noa and Ari

Were attending

A football match

In Germany

It was snowing heavily

And a glass ball

Was being used

Noa and Ari

Had just made love

For very first time

And Noa was now pregnant

With the home team’s

Future Centre-Forward

 

Anne Frank

This morning I saw a jogger

Wearing a fluorescent peach top

At that very moment

I thought of Anne Frank

And was immediately arrested

My name appeared in the local paper

Everybody is famous for fifteen minutes

 

Esther’s Dream  

When shopping in a hypermarket

In a German city

I found a number of old coins

And withdrawn banknotes

Near the final fruit counter

I collected the currency

In a soft skin bag

And handed it to the manager of the store

Her name was Esther
