Brooklyn

Brooklyn 

Salt beef with onion
sandwiches.
Goat cheese made 
near the wailing wall
The waiter
is a scientist.

Intelligent eyes
behind thick-lensed glasses
do not dare to leave a tip.
The burden of my ancestors
weighed heavy on my mind.

The chicken soup was excellent
I shan´t return
Before 
Palestine is a sovereign state
