75
Everyone comes from Brooklyn eventually
in the still quiet of a new day. Maybe you
worked there when you first came to this
country. Maybe your great grandfather
owned a saloon. Jesus, sang songs with the
disciples at the last supper. Maybe he sang
this very song. Maybe he sang it in your great
grandfather’s saloon. If Jesus walks among us
this very day, what makes you think he wasn’t
in Brooklyn the morning your great grandfather
met your great grandmother when she came
looking for a job. She was right off the boat
from Bremen, which came to Brooklyn one day
in the still quiet of a new eventuality.
