Middle Eastern Peace Plan

Arab and Jew serve each other

impeccably

wash each others feet

marry each others sons and daughters

share each others profits and losses.

Each day sitting

with each others

terror and shame.

No one knows what music plays

on the other side of the doorway.

Why fight over tickets that may not

be honored?

Together

greeting our naked maker,

huddling

in the muddy banks

of the Jordan river,

waiting

for the stones,

the bullets

the bulldozers

to stop pretending

there are enemies

in the Holy Land.
