NJ Sketches #2 : Bayonne
(for Hersch)

Yuko Otomo

10000 kisses
freedom herschy bars
eternal egg cream
40 plates of glazed carrots & kasha with broccoli

a poet feeds beatitude to Oil City

in the garden/cellar
underneath a foundation beam
we sip our cups of (com)passion sweetened with modesty

with him

nectar of flowers turn to honey in a beehive
things return to the origin prior to their own births

with him

we listen to the interior & exterior of music
we walk on the road to see the sphere

in Bayonne

we can use the word "true"unabashedly
