Ariel Beller

Jem the crab considers his options

I am ten thousand years old

I once sold lottery tickets on the streets of Eridu


And I wonder this morning

Is it worth it to be near the fire

Or should I remain cold


The birds seem happy

Maybe I will be too

But I can’t decide

If I feel like an onion or a song
