"This week they revealed a picture of Hitler in shorts." "This picture made me laugh for hours." "And I thought to myself:" ""If this picture had been discovered in time," ""World War II would have been avoided "" "They'd tell him:" ""Hitler, come..."" "Nira!" ""We are going to invade Russia." " No, what's wrong with you!" "It's too cold."" "Good evening to you, Orna Banai..." "what is your main conclusion from past week?" "You talked about it yesterday."

" This time it's not my poem." "One of the kids in the kindergarten is named Yoav" "I know that he was raised by his father but I have never met him." "His nanny brings him in the morning and comes to pick him in the afternoon." "Till now I've never paid no attention to him." "Just a kid." "Hi." "Do you have a pen?" "I am Yoav's nanny." "I have a poem." "I have a poem." ""Hagar is beautiful enough." ""Enough for me." ""Enough for me." ""A rain of gold falls on her house." ""Truly a sun of God."" "Come." "Do you hear the power of the words?" "The strength of love?" "Do these words confuse you?" "And me?" "Am I beautiful enough for you?" "Enough for you?" "I think it's sad that a 5 year old kid writes such words." "Maybe he needs help." "It's is only a poem." "Good morning." "Good morning." "Good morning." "We're thirsty." "Einav will help you." "We're thirsty." "Yoav, come." "Come." "Faster." "Come on." "Once again." "Come." "Thank you." "It is both the easiest and the most tedious assignment, and the most elusive."

"It overwhelmed me with warmth, a "golden rain"." "What's your name?" "Nira." "Thank you." "I don't agree at all!" "It is scientific, cold, it's a concept." "There's no limit, and if there's a limit there's no beauty!" "Can there be "enough for me" when you talk about beauty?" "But "enough for me" contradicts the rain, and the sun, and God which are infinite." "It should be seen as a whole." "Unless "enough for me" is an irony, or a provocation." "It's not a provocation." " Of course not." "Well maybe "provocation" is too severe but..." " It's the most provocative." "Nira," "It's a poem of someone who saw a lot of beauty." "Too much beauty." "Too much desire."

"He writes a poem like this once a week." "Sometimes two." "But how is he doing it?" "Before writing he paces from one side to another, like a drug addict." "And then I know he will say:" ""I have a poem." "I have a poem."" "He seems quiet but he throws a quite a fit if someone calls me during this time." "He's crazy." "What are his poems about?" "If I am not too indiscreet." "Indiscreet?" "Since you ask, He often writes about unrealized love.***" "As if he's a 40 year old single woman." "And where are those poems?"

"He would talk about theatre for hours, because I'm an actress." "Did you know I'm an actress?" " No." "Anyway..." "Yoav's uncle would sit shyly on the couch." ""Miri, did you see how..."" " Smoke outside." ""How that critic demolished that play?"" "He would talk about journalists' intrigues." "One time, I pretended to speak with my lover on the phone." "Since then he has stopped coming." "Do you like acting?" "For now I mostly do auditions." "I have one today." "It's stressful, isn't it!" "I'm finishing my cigarette and we leave." "You can leave him here until your finish." "I'll take him with me." "He's my good luck charm." "Take your schoolbag, honey." "How did it go yesterday?" "It went good." "Don't tell anyone, I recited a poem by Yoav." "During the audition?" " Yes." ""Hagar"?" "No." "Some ballad from last month." "Did they like it?" "It was just an acquaintance meeting with the director." "But they were surprised." "Sometimes they ask you to prepare something," "Others are bring on Nathan Zach, Yona Wallach, Levin, Brecht..." "And I told them it's my poem." "It gives me an advantage." "Are you bored, sweetie?" "It is not easy with this kid." "He's charming, but also a pest." "Do you have that poem you recited?"

""And when the bull was about to gore" ""And when toreador was about to pierce" ""With his sword..." ""I returned to my country." ""I thought:" ""Why do thoughts lead us so far? "" "It's childish, no?" " Not at all." "Did you like it, darling?" "No." "Thank you." " It was a pleasure." "May I copy the poem before you leave?" "Take it." "I have it on the computer."

""I was also in the audience." ""And when the bull was about to gore" ""And the toreador was about to raise up his red muleta," ""I returned to my country and I thought:" ""Why do thoughts lead us so far? "" "I hate lightheartedness of the poet when she talks about a massacre of animals for the amusement of idiotic crowd" "Great poetry has no moral viewpoint.***" "What does your poem tells you?" "I think the beginning was excellent, but when the bull gored," "You had created such an expectation so I expected to hear a statement." "And you evaded." " Besides, that was not the assignment what do everyday life observations have to do with bull fights?" "And bullfighting is no longer practiced." "It was banned..." "It only exists in your head." "Nonsense!" "I saw a bullfight last year in Madrid." "Five bulls were gone in two hours." "Besides, I liked the poem." "Me too." " It is beautiful." ""Bullfighting."

"Aviram, you will be Mattathias who shouted:" ""All under the banner of God come with me!"" "Yael, you are Mattathias' wife and the mother of all the Maccabees." "Here, caress the head of your son, Yoav." "Ron Shon, Lauren, Doron and Nadav, you are the Judas' brothers." "Gili, Effrat and Melissa, you will be the people of Israel." "Assi, you're Elazar the Hasmonean who was crushed by the elephant." "I," "I am Antiochus." "Antiochus the wicked!"

"I came in the name of Yoav, your nephew." "Although he does not know that I'm here." "His nanny, Miri, the actress, told me that you have opened the gate to the world of words for him, so to speak." "Guilty as charged." "When I look around me, my kindergarten or my 5 year old pupils, it's clear to me how difficult it is to be a poet in this world." "Being a poet in our world, is to go against the nature of the world." "Meeting Yoav is a great joy, but also a mission." "Just as easily as his poems pop up from him these days:" ""I have a poem, I have a poem!"" "It can all come to a stop." "And what happens when he grows up?" "Bristles, injuries..." "If it was up to me, I would be talking to the publishers this very moment." "I wanted to turn to his father so he'll give the me the power of attorney so I could take care of his career but I understood that he is busy and in general a man of food, not of words" "And by the way I'm not prying." "It's Miri, the nanny, who told me all about it." "But Miri, I must warn, is very problematic character for Yoav."

"Go ahead..." "Aharon must've told you." "What Aharon?" "Your brother, the poet." "How is he?" "I have not heard from him for two months." "He promised me to call you." "I'm listening." "I'm here to tell you about your son, Yoav." "The child is a poet." "I wanted to tell you about Yoav." "He's as talented as young Mozart who at four years old, according to his biography, was sucking candy and humming scores for an entire orchestra." "But Mozart was nurtured by dukes and kings that served him candy with their own hands." "But Yoav has no one." "He is a poet in an era that hates poets." "Who will protect Yoav?" "Even his nanny, Miri, looks at him as if he's a dwarf on TV and uses his poems without permission, claiming to be the author." "And you, sir, are a very busy man." "And Yoav's mother lives far away..." "I'll be brief in half an hour it will be Sodom and Gomorrah here." "Basically, my son's poetry doesn't interest me." "I don't mind him having fun, but I have no wish to promote this tendency." "I am a good father." "I love my son." "And I want him to have a normal life." "You saw his uncle." "A 50 year old man who still corrects spelling mistakes of illiterate, 25 years old kids who get 300 NIS per article in the best case scenario." "Who became journalists just because no grown up man wants to write for newspapers anymore." "I can't stand the disgruntled, the losers, the disconnected ones, the ones needing support, the whiners, the blind who do not see where the world is going to."
