North Bergen : Poem By Joel Lewis (House Rent Boogie)

North Bergen by Joel Lewis


A big black Chrysler at dusk
lights a limestone Madonna
with its Halogen headlights
turning the corner
onto Bergenline
where teenagers gather
underneath Chicken Holiday's torn awning
waiting for something to happen
much larger than their brains.


If you are from Hudson County and want to read a book of poems thats inspired by the same sidewalks and streetlights u pass by every day then check out House Rent Boogie by Joel Lewis
