i'm sittin on a trian
pt to asbury again
5 stops there
high school kids
fresh off the beach
all shinny sun-screened
hop on and on
not off
but on and on
aways on and on...and on on on
until the whole damn car
is sardined and seeping
with girls
not women
girls
all chat chat chatting
and seriously
there are hundreds of them
squishing in
and they all know each other
so i ask one
a pretty blond
their destination
the PNC Arts center
...a Tom Petty concert

and I'm the pop culture casualty
