Lali Tsipi Michaeli

MONDAY

Yesterday I did a half jog
And on the way I learned
That everyone has elbows
But
Everyone
And you only need to activate them
When needed

In particular I learned
There is poetry in the air
And you simply need to know
Which part of the city
To fly to

On the second part of the jog
I had already taken a taxi home

יום שני

יום שני

אֶתְמוֹל עָשִׂיתִי חֲצִי ג'וֹגִינְג
וּבַדֶּרֶךְ לָמַדְתִּי
שֶׁיֵּשׁ מַרְפְּקִים לְכָל אֶחָד
אֲבָל
לְכָל אֶחָד
וְצָרִיךְ רַק לְהַפְעִיל אוֹתָם
כְּשֶׁצָּרִיךְ

בְּיִחוּד לָמַדְתִּי
שֶׁיֵּשׁ שִׁירָה בָּאֲוִיר
וּפָשׁוּט צָרִיךְ לָדַעַת
לְאֵיזֶה חֵלֶק שֶׁל הָעִיר
לָעוּף

בַּחֵצִי הַשֵּׁנִי שֶׁל הַגּ'וֹגִינְג
כְּבָר לָקַחְתִּי מוֹנִית הַבַּיְתָה
