One Morning In Jersey CityBy Anthony BuccinoVerse written along the Hudson River in Jersey City, N.J. You can hear a lot by looking around. Sometimes, standing along the Hudson River shoreline, you can dream of the freedom in the sailing beauty slipping through the waves, or question the signals proffered by a hungry seagull, or ponder why the pigeons follow you. Or you could sit ever so still and listen to the clatter of heels on the tile as the cigarette mafia heads outside for fresh air, while you slip in among them and consider the steel and glass surroundings. |

One Morning In Jersey City First you want a body of water To look at out your window Then you want A sailboat to float by On the shimmering sea Then you want a body Steering the sailboat towards you It should be someone sexy, you say. And the sailboat, slick and sleek As it approaches your shore Then you want no window between You and the sea, a summer breeze to blow Wisps of sea spray to keep bugs away. Next you want more vacation time To sail away on the sea, and that, my dear, Is why you can see no sailboat, or foamy water You see nothing beyond the walls of your cubicle -Sailboat One Morning In Jersey City Published by Cherry Blossom Press Buccino's poetry collections are mostly out of print.
