New Suburb Blues
You always know when spring begins,
each day you wake to sounds of bulldozers and chainsaws.
The glory of the garden is in bloom;
let's rip the duds before someone comes to like it.
Efflorescence doesn't flow,
it sits and waits its turn
to be torn down, a house without a homeowner
is obscure as a tree in a new yard.
One doesn't want a yard, but
for there to be woods.
Not a hermit exactly. But a yard is the thing.
It's like being in the city.
