Later...much later

the shiksas
didn’t dig it
crossed my path
near the south
building on
the old
side
of nassau community
sang my woe
sacramented gentile
always stuck
defending the
pale, skinny jewish kid
snipped cultured
ready to fry
a catholic seder
on good friday
morn
what was I supposed to think?
wide silent smirk
sucks
unbled moments
to fuel
a forgotten screed
her nyu suitemate
lo and behold
summers on saint marks!
more
psychobabble botox refrain
but hot
even when
shes not
a tolerant gaze
stops at sin
to whisper anew
her kibbutznik cousin
wouldn’t approve
smirks ashore
safe
in her driveway
cajole galore
but I’d had enough
and
told her as much
easy now…
yr mom is watching us
