In Hebrew

In Hebrew
The verbs
To wait
And
To hope
Are the same.
I was the only one to take Hebrew
In seminary
I received a grade
Of C
For my efforts.
Ill-earned
I crossed the street
In winter's cold
Overslept half
The classes
Received the Hebrew prize.
Because no one else
Braved the cold
Not because I learned
The verbs
Even now I learned the verbs
To wait
And
To hope
From an article
I read.
