say goodbye to the
grease-stained century, the age of dirty
machinery, stinkpot trawlers depart at sunrise
among gulls that hover, locate, and dive. the roof
of train slick w/ exhaust streaks of ancient
locomotive on the southern run east where it would
cost $3M/mile to run electricity. Crew's Quarters
opens from 1 to 1, a. to p., in dark presunrise
outdoor seats Irish kids smoke cigarettes after a
round of parties. a new day just begun or maybe
yesterday never ended, just grew dark in a tunnel
& never changed till we made our way here
where the south fork of Long Island narrows to a
jetty and yields to the sea |
