On my list of things to
do
was to visit Jersey
Shore
made famous from movies
and T.V. like so many sites,
a unique place with boardwalks
and a roller coaster, now all tossed in the sea
scattered remnants of how it used to be
all that is left are photographs and memories.
Some entrepreneurs will gather the junk
sell it for scrap while others will make it art
like pendants and other memorabilia
to sell to those who knew the place
treasure hunters of all sorts will comb
through the debris for something to salvage
in memory of a place where romance bloomed,
hearts were broken, and luxury loomed
now washed away by an Atlantic surge
brought ashore by hurricane Sandy.
The dream to rebuild is paramount
turning upright all that is upside down.
