“Pier 11 Ferry to Belford”
Brooklyn bridge sun
Throws yellow grace at Jersey City towers
Steve, Tom, and I
look through yellow sunglasses
Ripping through untouched waters
“Sea Bright to Asbury Park”
Everything the same
Then,
Mansions
Sweeping walls to block the opulence
Or to block the unwanted
Mansions sweeping mansions
They must have snipers
-Reality check-
Through the Asbury Park Boardwalk tunnel
Impassioned carousel music keyboardist
Cigarette dangling
Hair dangling
Teeth dangling
Life dangling
Talent raging
With a huge smile
And we smile back
“Asbury Park to Seaside”
Picture with B&B proprietor, George
His sincere excited grin like my nephews
Swiss army backpack has to go
Giant welts on my back, oh!
Inland detour
New backpack from army navy surplus
Big ass camo
we find our way to
Point pleasant’s people and cigarette caked Boardwalk
The sun casting powerful rays all over
“Route 35 Mania”
Shark fin flippers for torpedo powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -breathe- errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr -breathe- errrrrrrrrrrrrr (drawn out for goofy comedic effect)
(said in an old man voice):
uhhhhhhhh help meeeeeeeeeeee no water the sun the heat our legs our feet the sun the heat nail clippers are what I need please please please nail clippers are what I need give them to me!
Water from a hose on the highway was never so tasty
Seaside sand graced, we
Boardwalk cheesteaks ate, expensive not free
Mozzarella sticks and fries, tasty!
Sleeping on toms construction zone house deck, yes please
“Seaside to Motel”
Stop at rite aid
Cover up cuts and blisters
Break, eat almonds, drink water
Stop at rite aid
Cover up cuts and blisters
Break, eat dried fruit, drink water
Stop at general store
Cover up cuts and blisters
Break, eat almonds, drink water
Stop at rite aid
Cover up cuts and blisters
Break, eat almonds, drink water
Sun block in my eyes
Toms legs fried
McDonald’s bathroom flushing will surely fix my eyes

And über to a motel
Where
Everything’s closed
Out of water and we can’t even find somewhere to buy it
There’s a nuclear power plant nearby
Let’s just order a pizza pie
And not buy drinks
But be dumb and not think
So order water and something else from dominos
Chocolate lava discomfort follows
And getting really choked up by
the ending of Finding Nemo
“Motel to New York”
Was Route 35 mania
Then Route 9 depression
Now GSP North Blues
And Immense Blister Horror
But godammit we walked 70 something miles
And it was wonderful
To see strangers seem familiar
Thousands of rubbernecking friendly smiles
