Budapest streets with asphalt sidewalks

 Budapest streets with asphalt sidewalks

Square cobblestone pavement 

Dim street lights on unlit building facades 

Decades after blaming communism 

James shackled to a pee tube

Restricted movement and thought

An  expat luckily stuck in time 

His books his main distraction 

Too late to wake up Yankee clipper

Shabbat goy, Brooklyn boy
