ON GUNNISON BEACH
I can't begrudge the frog its lily pad.
Sandy Hook to Sea Bright walking -
everything I saw was bad : token
remnants of old-years ago, sentinel
ships along the coast, dead Revolutionary
War soldiers marked and buried in the
sands. All this behind us, and now
the future - out of hand. 19-year olds
naked as they came, and ashen old
women looking the same.
