"It's,like, the Jersey
theme song," he bubbles out
excitedly
conjuring up images of
driving through the parkway
Down the shore
where they'll say
"Hey, buddy! Whadayya think yer doin!"
Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night,
I wish they'd blow up my house, too
on the steps of a granite building called Clio
Princeton's lost its golden air as said before and
the Sourland crepuscule
of rock and woodchip
under my feet seems
to be just woodland landscape no
longer some powerful nature scene or something
i have friends, but they are in cities
looking through high still air i say
and declare the sourland scene dead the
vague Appalachian terrain the parkway by Princeton
i go to sleep.
