Missing NYC and down
By: Itay Eisinger
Above all
I miss the MOMA
Not the museum itself
But the concept.
Kissing by
Bethesda Fountain
To confuse the cops,
Finding that tiny
French restaurant
Hardly known even to its owner–
The forgotten Polish philosopher
Who helped Lech Walesa
To form Solidarity.
I was poorer than now,
Poor in a billionaires’ town
Were Jewish socialists
once won.
Oh, and how loved taking down
hedge fund bros
In Koreatown–
till freedom, or morning, comes.
Thinking of Chekhov, a gun,
Lennon’s Xmas slogan:
all wars are over
(But the class
one)
