the view from new jersey


this past weekend 
my friend melissa and i 
went to ikea

 its hard to go there 
just
 for whatever it is you need
 cause
 there
 is 
so much 
you suddenly think 
you need

i went to find replacement dishes
ended up 
with 
the dishes
 a mug 
and 
two whisks 
(and i think there was something else but i forget)

i also got to see her new apartment
when we drove back toward manhattan
we stopped at one of the overlook points
that's what we saw

i edited it a teensy bit
