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.

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....

ghosts of factories
shotguns checked shirts, red necks,
rust the vultures waiting for

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....

bearing a yellow floret...

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...

Suburban Lawn, a Cradle Song
In the grass, I lay my head,
A pillow soft, a verdant bed,
The blades, like fingers, gently wrap,
Around my limbs, a loving trap.
the rustling leaves as a lullaby as buzzing bees go buzzing by a symphony of sight and sound out of the grass life lives unbound...

Summer's Up-Splashed Voice
Summer; its refreshing voice of
Up-splashed gaiety.
Afar; yet in hearing, clearer
Finds one drawn nearer!
Suburban windows everywhere
Let all they can in
Of what afloat, with orange scent
Gives a boost to this;
That which , couched, lure for drowsy bliss
Heats; deeper within!...

Suburban Perfection
While gold-laced suburban skies shine, it is wasted on the child.
As he pouts behind a picket fence, vanilla ice cream melts.
Watching the manicured lawns grow, I long to loosen the green.
