The Curriculum Vitae of Samuel Menashe

Curriculum Vitae by Samuel Menashe (1925-2011)

1

Scribe out of work

At a loss for words

Not his to begin with,

The man life passed by

Stands at the window

Biding his time

2

Time and again

And now once more

I climb these stairs

Unlock this door—

No name where I live

Alone in my lair

With one bone to pick

And no time to spare
