"blacks jews and gays"
what is me at the beach, today with a holiday crowd
dressed in bathing suits or pants or skirts and long-sleeved striped sweaters
waiting for Columbus.
Every now and then
I raise my shoulders from the warm beach
to fill my eyes with light.
Little boys pass left-handedly clamping yarmulkes to curly heads
running to the sunlit waves to greet Columbus.
My sweater for a pillow
out here trying to shake a cold
onto the bottle-dotted sands;
observe to the southeast, Breezy Point, very clear; to the southwest, blue slumbering Jersey, afloat on a ribbon of haze
marking the way for Columbus.
Strangers make a nice change
and for awhile sun soothes a fever
until it doesn�t.
At my back three spiky ships detach themselves like rogue tattoos from Jersey�s shoulder and appear
bearing Columbus.
