I will be a ghetto Jew
and dance
and put white stockings
on my twisted limbs
and poison wells
across the town
For you
I will be an apostate Jew
and tell the Spanish priest
of the blood vow
in the Talmud
and where the bones
of the child are hid
For you
I will be a banker Jew
and bring to ruin
a proud old hunting king
and end his line
For you
I will be a Broadway Jew
and cry in theatres
for my mother
and sell bargain goods
beneath the counter
For you
I will be a doctor Jew
and search
in all the garbage cans for foreskins
to sew back again
For you
I will be a Dachau Jew
and lie down in lime
with twisted limbs
and bloated pain
no mind can understand
