Amichai "Of Three Or Four In A Room"

I really enjoyed the poem from Amichai "of three or four in room." The poem however short, is very strong in what it has to say.  My idea is  that the poems setting is in Jerusalem where many religious races are fighting over this piece of land.  I envision four men are in a room,  three of them are in the center just being clam and relaxed, probably talking about nonsense things like the weather.  But there is one man who is by the window, waiting for war to break loose once more and swallow whole the peace thats before them. He is a realist, someone who can see the ominous storm before it hits and tries to take cover unlike his fellow men who stare the storm in its face and call it a rainbow.
