The Jew and the Arab Kiss
There they stand
on a cobbled street
he in his kippah
he in his keffiyeh
eyes closed
lips locked
forever
or until the image
is deleted
which like all else
on the deceptively
diplomatic internet
doesn’t really
disappear

I really like the two six-lines stanza broken by the single words and how “forever” and “disappear” work in dual mode the way I read it.
this is quite an image!
Mmmm, words.
“forever”
Beautiful Lee.
I made a slight revision:

A beautiful write, Lee. May this one remain visible for all to see forever!
