Plastic Smiles

hollow shells
of people smiling
plastic smiles
white picket fence
2.5 kids
suburban street
manicured lawns
walking on leashes
their fabricated dogs
priceless crystal 
sits on the 
coffee table waiting
waiting for one
little teeter 
one little totter
to crash
into pieces
hollow shells
of people smiling
plastic smiles
