Looking at the
map, the prospects for a riverfront walk
didn't seem too enticing--mostly just
big box stores with acres of parking lot and some
presumably inaccessible defunct wharves.
We went under I95 and across 6 lanes of Columbus,
past Walmart's shopping cart graveyard,
to where the Delaware River Trail was
inexplicably blocked off, but we got around that and
explored the last rotting remnants of a pier being
reclaimed by nature, then hopped a fence
and ventured onto broad concrete expanse covered in
graffiti
and wondered if you could see
MEOW
MAN from space (you
can!), little suspecting it was an omen of
imminent delight.
We doubled back south and stumbled upon... a stray
cat shanty
town! Black,
white,
calico--
all serene as buddhist monks. We were beneath their
notice but my life has meaning again.
