Another state of mind

There is no grief in Jersey, where "everything is two feet from each other."

"No one gets in love," there. A man does not ask his wife, "Do we know anyone with absolute pitch?" Schoolchildren do not say, "The system works best when it doesn't work at all." Housecats do not watch documentaries about Big Cats on public television.

If you lived there, the words in your Google search bar at the end of the day would be: "too much remembering, not enough drinking." If you lived there, you would be a flight risk, trying to cast off from the Jersey shore and always coming back with the tide.
