Poems on a Jewish theme. In Eat Fruit, she writes: "Custom agents throw open my suitcase and draw / out with gingerly leer from under my negligee / a melon. Drug smugglers feed their self-importance, / but me they hate along with the guy trying to smuggle / in a salami from the old country his uncle gave him."
