Intermezzo 1

So, a man and a woman leave a country full of wolves
For a country full of actual wolves
They meet, one falls in love
And now, a new life

But, the trouble is
Outside of Bucharest
There are fields of cornflowers and yarrow
Oat grass, tansy, ox-hide daisies
Wild thyme!
When Chaya was little she rolled around in them
When she got older, she picked them and
Gave them to the boys she liked

There was one boy in particular
He was handsome, and tall
And fuckable
Eminently fuckable

Alright, so, Judaism
It might surprise you to know
Is very positive
Very... enthusiastic, even, about fucking
It's a mitzvah, a commandment, a blessing
"Be fruitful and multiply"
Ya know, with your husband or wife, of course --
In the Bible it says adulterers are to be put to death
But
That's just part of any sacrificial desert's cult
Am I right?

And, look, the Jewish oral law states
You can't put anyone to death for the crime of adultery
Unless there are at least two witnesses to the crime
Of adultery

So, unless you invite some people over to see the adultery --
Unless you have an adultery party --
There's a fair amount of rabbinical 'wiggle room.'
There's the Bible
But there's also the 'oral tradition'
