David ben Alexander, The Skepticโs Kaddish,
has inspired me to take a page from his book
and create my first Dectina Refrain Poem

You
looking
at us five?
We are unique.
How we worry you!
Why are you so afraid
when you don’t even know us?
Our five hearts are breaking for you,
consumed with hate, so unaccepting.
โYou looking at us five? We are unique.โ
