THE CHUTE
Each time a baby is bornthe universe squeezes itselfthrough a chute,the same chuteinto whichsuicides squeeze themselves.Its mouthis lined with small iron teeth.When you bathe your fatherwho has become like a child,you feel the teethon your fingers.When your father askswho you are,it means his legs have beensucked in.For you the tunnel'smouth is closed.For him it is openand oiled.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
