licking the suburban carpet clean under

Regeneration
Suburban farmers till the ground
With rotor-blades that spin around
Slicing clods in two.
Suburban Eden, lost—then found
Every Spring, anew....

Suburban Sidewalk
An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town....

A tree bends over
not to smell the sweet grasses
but to pick up leaves.

Untitled
We won't ever be anybody's red
caped tin horned hero.
We seem local and suburban.
All pleased.

To the red brick mailbox
Down the solar powered sidewalk
Newspaper in hand
A suburban professional
However antisocial...

Lights
Christmas lights are starting to bloom,
showering multicolored holiday grace
across increasingly bare, late fall suburban landscapes.
I love, I need, the perfectly placed, perfectly timed, whimsy....

Curbing Drinking Suburban Bourbon
Curbing Drinking Suburban Bourbon
What we could be doing is probably curbing,
Things that are disturbing and also suburban;
Before drinkers die,
A tariff do apply;
Never drinking or have been serving bourbon.

A Case of Suburban Chicken
Through careful conversation
We were strangers then
Fantasy in our eyes
Hiding in our coffee cups
Sweet suspended afternoons
Letting our music talk to each other...

Messenger
message, and their medium
--- all-in-one ---
--- things-in-themselves ---
restless glinting fish
thrash this way, that,
only thinking that they're trapped
behind four glass walls,
inside their glass suburban house....

Halloween Haiku (For Linda-Marie the Sweetheart of P.S.'s Contest)
Halloween Haiku
(9.7.10)
Suburban parade:
A night to transform yourself,
and beg without shame.
Subsequent morning:
Pillowcases wear make up-
Wrappers and trinkets.
The Thanksgiving porch:
Mouth with one neglected tooth-
The jack-o-lantern....

Dandelion

bearing a yellow floret...

Suburban Lawn, a Cradle Song
In the grass, I lay my head,
a pillow soft, a verdant bed,
blades of fingers gently wrap
around my limbs, a loving trap.
Leaves rustle up their lullaby
as buzzing bees go buzzing by
a symphony of sight and sound
out of the grass life lives unbound—...

Suburban Wastes I
See the girls on the corner
In tight tanks
And micro minis
Popping gum
Locking eyes
Driving boys wild
See the sunlight
Outline their curls in gold
Memories of youth
In the Suburban wastes
Walking the streets at night
Running with the summer moon...

An Empty Moon Over a Suburban Sky
a filtered light strained and old
that hangs over us man crawlers
we are loaded with slow blood
we jaw-jaw under evening circles
empty as a watering can in august
up and up the garden, down down
we hammer the green into squares
as we think we may, foolish with dust...

a famine child
by his mother's side
a famine child cries
while a suburban family sits down
to eat more then they need
in a land so rich with wealth
grain stocked piled
in silos so high
so much more than the little consumed
a blind eye is turned
to the horrors of the third world...
