From photographs and old postcards
They re-designed Old Town
Resurrected a square the Nazi
Meat-grinder had turned to ashes
Today my dear Adolf Hitler
May it bother you to know
That children even Jewish children
Wash in the wake
Of the bare-chested mermaid
With hollers of delight
As print-makers yes Jewish print-makers
Idle near their wares
Awaiting the delight of tourists
Musicians tatooed Jewish musicians
Key and sing delighting old women
Sunlight moves the breeze within
Four walls of buildings
Finished without finish
Like grandmothers in black
Up to fuss over a future
Meant for the joy of others
