In New Jersey we live stacked
1,134.4 persons per square mile,
frozen in a block of humanity.
In American Russia, where no
road leads to the capital,
1.1 people per square mile
breath fresh, Alaskan Air.

new jersey is the only state where every one of its counties is categorized as urban.
new jersey is the country's most affluent state.
today, new jersey joined massachusetts as the supreme court ruled that a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
while people married in massachusetts (gay or straight) must be taxpaying residents of that state, new jersey has no such law.
go civil rights, go.
all i was trying to do was get a blog hit in alaska...
go civil rights, GO! and yes, please, let's get a hit in alaska.
i like the form this poem takes, how it's stacked (like new jersey) but the last line is separated and open (like alaska). three cheers for poems about states.
W could be ambitious and start writing state poems--like sufjan stevens's albumns about states!
