jersey girl

it's a long
road to jersey.
those jersey walls.
it always seems to be raining.
and we always
seem to be
lost, taking
the wrong turn in the glare
of the lights,
the wipers,
the windshield full
of yellow
diamonds.
it's a long road to jersey,
to find
love.
but love has no map,
no time
to lose
at this fast approaching
age.
