And the beach and Scott bartender
at Homesick our favorite
restaurant and friends we knew
friends we know now and this funny
room where we lived a different
Real Life for five days four green
walls and the ocean and Asbury Park
the kind of chaotic random unpredictable
beauty I love best The Uncape Cod
where Evangelical Jane recited her poem
and where last night for the first time in
years I dreamt about Jerusalem didn’t
think about politics just felafel and in my
dream I are it at a small perfect stand.
And it was good.
