  Keep  open  relationships  with     our  friends  from  the  South  (Jersey),   an  exotic  people   whose  antic  descriptions   of  devils,  piney  woods,   crosses  burning  in  moonlit  fields   Atlantic  City  hijinks  provide     fodder  for  many  a  homey  tale.     Mourn  the  suicides  and  overdoses   of  friends  and  lovers   who  ventured  to  the  City   with  oversized  dreams.   Record  your  melancholy   as  the  casket  rests  in  the     ripped  green  grass.     Admire  the  gleaming  Gotham   skyline  from  a  distance.   Remember,  it  was  erected  for  us.     Let  the  unknown  unfold  organically.     No  matter  what  Camus  says   New  Jersey  is  the  birthplace  of  existentialism.   Who  can  argue  with  a  pair  of  longhaired   boys  smoking  Winstons   in  front  of  7-­‐11  on  a  Saturday  night?     By  Danny  Shot                   15
