b) danny siegel (www.dannysiegel.com) – here is the actual reference and complete poem:
PERSONAL PREFERENCE
by Danny Siegel

I think
(now that I look back)
I’d rather drive a taxi
in Jerusalem
than be the King
of all of South Dakota
or the Cantor
in the Great and Ancient Synagogue
of West Rangoon.

I don’t know why.

Here the sun sets red,
and there the suns set red.

Here the trees sway with infinite grace,
and there the breeze moves the leaves
with equally gentle fingers.

I don’t know why
I’d rather drive a taxi in Jerusalem,

but neither have I come to know
just why the see becomes a daffodil
and not a rose.

thanks again
