Fragment #160

A.J. Juarez

Sunday mornings.
As partisans,
The Sunday Telegram,
Cream cheese, lox & bagels from Weintrob's
bakery,
A pot of strong coffee,
And jazz-
This morning
Sun-Ra's polyphonic prayers …
A long bath,
Then a good cigar. …
Hours later,
I write poems while
Watching the Celtics on the tube;
Simple pleasures,
Rebirths.
