Right. Write.

Oh, right. A poem.
That's the thing I was 
forgetting to remember 
this late night as I prep 
for a public event and 
the major holiday looms 
like a gefilte fish piñata stuffed 
with anxiety and matzo balls,
the conflicted marriage between 
tradition and intention, 
the spirit of freedom wedded 
to chains of obligation and
kissed by current events and fear.
The best way to navigate this is ...
Oh. Write a poem.
