Rochelle Mass - They Said He Was Living With #4


They said he was living with #4, left #3, also #2 who was the daughter of the town’s T.V. Mogul who’d never known a Rabbi before, let alone had one married to his daughter, who was taller and older than he, the father of the bride was.

#1 was a real Rabbi’s wife-- stern and straight and Jewish and five children came from their bed.  Pot and sexual mergers came from the basement room of #1’s home as he counseled college kids, particularly girls, especially ones that came to take on Moses’

way so they could love a Jewish boy. That’s where he got Mrs. #2, then two children, then six years later he meets #3, a healer, but it didn’t matter.  Another eight years and three  kids to make ten young ones in all and he leaves #3 to love her friend who is a

psychologist with hips that swing as far as his esoteric spirit promises. When he was almost eighty and still with #4, he mountain-packed all the way to the Temple of the Dali Lhama who asked him how Jewish folks have done their Jewishness for so long

and this husband of four wives and father of ten, pot smoker and psalm creator said: “Through angels," adjusting his cap of many colors. “We follow the winged cherubs whose honey is sweet as a woman’s cunt." The Lotus leader reddened

but moved closer.  After much thought, to the husband of four and father of ten and Lotus companion, the Lotus leader proclaimed:
You’ve had your share of honey.
