Fisticuffs

 The crowd broke into fisticuffs -

I heard it on the news -

For Middle Eastern politics

Engenders different views.


It happened in Times Square

Where brawlers gathered for a fight.

Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestine,

Each sure their side was right.


Such protests do not shock me -

All my life such things I’ve heard.

But fisticuffs? What did surprise

Was that old-fashioned word.
