THE LAST RESORT

 

THREE HUNDRED MILLION YEARS AGO THERE WAS PLENTY OF LIFE HERE NO PEOPLE

PLANTS AND ANIMALS NO HOUSES MAYBE THE UGLY MUG

THE OCEANS WERE DRUNK WITH ONE ANOTHER BUT LOVED THIS PLACE THERE ARE STILL NO PEOPLE IN CAPE MAY

IN THE WINTER OF 98 MAYBE FIVE WE MEET ON THE WAY TO ACME AND BOW THE INDIANS WALKED HERE WITH

THEIR FAMILIES AND PONIES CONVENTIONS AND GREAT FIRES MINIATURE GOLF AND OUTDOOR RESTAURANTS THEY

GAMBOLLED WITH THE WHALES THEY BLESSED THE LOBSTER AND TURKEY

THEY GREW WATERMELONS AND ORANGES WHERE THE JETTIES PUSH OUT THEIR KIDS PLAYED WITH

POSSUM AND SKUNK SHAMANS SWAM WITH THE DOLPHIN

THIS WAS ALWAYS A HOLY PLACE THEY CALLED IT THE LAST RESORT THE GEESE

CALL IT WAWA AND EVER SINCE VICTORIA

STRETCHED OUT IN THE MEADOW AND LAID DOWN THE TOWN YOU GET AN ITALIAN SHORTIE 24 HOURS

OUT RIDING AT NIGHT NOW IS A SENSITIVE GANG OF SKATEBOARDERS

WHO SPRAY LARGE BLACK X'S ON THE UNNATURAL PINK HOMES AND SHOPS INSPIRED BY THE PINES AND THE WAVES

AND THE QUEEN HERSELF THEY PROTECT A

MAGNIFICENT BREAKFAST ON THE LAST INCHES OF NEW JERSEY

PINK IN THE SUNSETS IN THE FLOWERS THE MAYORS SLEEP IN FUDGE AND

COMMUNICATE WITH T SHIRTS A RACCOON SLEEPS IN MY BIRCH TREE ONE SPIRITUAL FATHER ROCKS THE

ARCHITECTURE OF STARS WITH HIS VOICE MANY CHILDREN COME HERE TO BE MARRIED ON THE BEACHES BY HIM

GOD IS EVERWHERE ABOUT

LET THE ACTORS AND MUSICIANS PLAY BE CAREFUL OF YOUR INVESTMENTS

LINCOLN CALMED HIS HEADACHES HERE JEFFERSON AND FRANKLIN STILL SURF THE NORTHEASTERS THESE HAPPY

TEARFUL HOUSES THAT TALK ALL DAY

THIS ORDINARY SETTLEMENT OF POLAR BEARS AND KANGAROOS THIS GLORIOUS CATHEDRAL OF GINGERBREAD AND

OCEAN AND BIRDS

IF NOT CAPE MAY WHERE ELSE
