The Brain from Ukraine meets her Match


The Brain from Ukraine

It was only when
he received orders to serve
military duty at the Egyptian-Israeli
border that he realized he didn’t
want conflict at his border anymore,
nor did he want to continue his
study of Dating for Dummies.
He was in love with the brain of Ukraine,
who somehow found time for the likes of him
in the midst of solving homicide cases
and dispatching the competition at chess.
As a teacher in Tottenville, he tried to
keep the kids from becoming perps;
she dealt with them if they failed.
They both chose to follow the path
of public service; their paths
locked as they chose to walk down
the aisle of St. George Ukrainian
Catholic Church in Manhattan.
