visitors, tourists


welcome
from wherever

better than not
coming at all

last night
Candian tourists
dined here
in Holy City of Shiloh

regular visitors
from a shul

most repeats
but met one
here for the first time

a short visit
better than none

but why not stay?

we sat around tables
with them

chatted
ordinary things

maybe they
now feel
that aliya's
more possible

so
they won't be
visitors, tourists
