a sonnet
A sonnet
In Gaza, Hamas has tunnels under Gaza
in New York, the Jews have built tunnels deep underground for a reason many find eccentric
I do not think when the world explodes in a nuclear war, some Jews are sure to survive
When the deed is done, and the stench of death
has evaporated, and the olive tree greens look
like camouflaged Hamas, eternally crossing
a field blast tuned sand into gold
the New York survivors will find their way to
Jerusalem, trying to find a stone, if nothing else
of the wailing wall.
