Last week at our New Jersey vacation
in a hotel on Long Branch very much like
an episode of Shtisel (we would go back)
I had a ninety minute massage
and my Bhutanese masseuse Pema
who spent some time on my third eye
Pema a silent masseuse (perfect) gave
me only one piece of advice when the massage
was finished when I finally felt relaxed
she said: don’t go to Salt
the kosher steakhouse across the street.
We didn’t.
