Ode to NJ
New Jersey,
do you make people smarter
because of how much you swear?
Are you training us with your
on and off ramps
to expect anything
and tricking visitors
to think
there is only highway and city
when really
there is Appalachia
and the shore,
and NYC and Philly next door.

I own land in New Mexico.. the cost of loving donw there is astonishing, however, it is always an enlightment for anyone who has lived in the East Coast, and visited those Jersey Shores, enjoy your evening as well my blue-eye poet

Every state has its own natural appeal! I live in santa fe, and I get to look at mountains every day! Snowy peaks until May.
