My Uber Driver

/ Prayer, Poetry & Midrash / By

My Uber driver 

was a woman in a hijab 

I climbed in,

conscious of my Magen David 

Did she clock it? She didn’t say 

I didn’t move to hide it

We chatted pleasantly and when 

Sara Bareilles came on the radio

We both sang along 

Somewhere else our two people 

Are killing one another 

But here the weather is gorgeous

The mountain is stunning 

The river is clean  

And we hum to the same songs as we drive 

In peace
