Jerusalem

The tower of David.
The Cardo.
The Western Wall.
The old and crooked streets between.
The Armenian ceramics.
The Christian quarter.

Not the Islamic quarter.

Lilenblum at night

The 7 piece band jam session.
The birthday part, no chaser please.

The talk of MBA's and foreign lands, no chaser please.

The kibbutz and other potemkins. No chaser, really.

Just Murphy's.

The sadness in Tel Aviv

I walked along the Mediterranean beach on fine sand.
The water, warm, the sky bright and clear.
Old Russian toursists slathered in sun block.

Two men with machine guns walk along the beach.
