And my father

walks over to the window

of the man’s office.

Father opens the window.

It’s cold outside;

we don’t need fresh air.

But this isn’t about fresh air.

As Father looks down to the sidewalk,

far below,

below, below

below this nice office,

he tells the surprised American official

that if he must wait longer for visas,

he might as well jump out the window.

“I might as well jump,”

Father tells the man,

“because the Nazis will be

murdering me soon anyway.”

The American official looks at us.

Is he noble, helpful, and good?

No, Vati, don’t jump!
