Fresh Eggs

No air-conditioning, No deodorant 
everybody’s thinking of alcohol cigarettes and coffee 
chain-smoking a-plenty, including the kids 
all the way down

but as I’ve heard lore tell-tales
stories of lore
they’d stop for fresh eggs on the way
at one of the Route 9 farms 

Yeah, we stub out our cigarettes 
get out of the Chevy 
and we load up on fresh eggs, see? 

we were all carrying crates of eggs 
To the gills 
To the top of the roof
fresh eggs at the seashore
