Jersey City
Got customers there
Take the Path train to Journal Square
Lyft rides from there
JC is old
City that time forgot
I tell my driver about the diners
All leftovers from an unknown era
Like being in a Bruce Springsteen song
I tell her
She just looks at me and nods
Getting it even though maybe she doesn't
Too young for my melancholy
That's good

That city keeps me grounded in somber thoughts
I only go there for work, it's quiet and somber
Then when done I escape back into the gritty sweaty confines of New York City thinking about the tale of 2 cities ....

It's interesting to me when someone doesn't get my nostalgia for a place or thing. It's like I've found something magical that nobody else has access to. I kinda picked up that vibe on this one.

This is one of my favorites of all the stuff I've written
When you ride through this city it's shirts with holes in them and everything covered in gravy ....
