Feel Mo

Feel Mo – for Mo Shooer on his 70th birthday – by Michael Korson, M.D.

Feel Mo
More of Mo, so much Mo, 
Hale-Bopp blazing over Yosemite mountains 
And that ballet of shooting stars over strawberrys. 
Mo words, a galaxy of words, 
Q’s and A’s,
Mo politics, Mo sports, 
Mo man on second one out and a single up to the middle. 
Mo jubilation,
Mo Super Bowls,
Mo sorrows and Mo tears,
Mo arms to comfort and hold. 
Mo belly full laughs, 
Mo broken rules,
Mo hopped fences, 
Mo ignoring signs, 
Mo towed vans at Candlestick Park.
Mo music, saxophone, Middle Eastern,
Mo Omar Sosa in MOMA, 
Mo plays and discussions and opinions and questions. 
(To be a Jew is to question. Mo told me.)
