An Anne Frank Moment ... a poem by Anne Selden Annab

      "A boy was jailed for flying a kite"

                        (There is no long distance now)

She packaged up brief stories
told carefully- short significant
connections...  character playing out
into life affirming scenarios
mostly American
with one line
one plea
hidden-
an Anne Frank moment
for modern times

A small poem
with significant ramifications
almost at the end:

DEAREST JEWS,
PLEASE CHOOSE
TO BE NICER

might I add
love, Palestine
