And now....more poetry!!!

Alt-Neu Jewish Music
Clarinet pointed at the ceiling as if to send a blow dart of klezmer tranquilizer into the heart of the Holy Blessed One
The beret wearing drummer tzit-zitzes his hi-hats
The accordionist crying through his palms
Bass man just thumps thump thump thump thump thump thump
And now the squeal of the mad violinist, curly hair aloft, high on heavenly crank,
A bow-stroked eulogy for eighty thousand lost souls, the murdered violinists.

Behind the concert hall in Chestocowa, in the back lot, under thirty feet deep of dirt and bones, the snuck-in under his jacket violin of a buried Jew begins to vibrate
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
?Now ain’t that sweet music
