Suburban Lives

Within this egg are many revolutions and apocalypse
A walk amongst trees the perfect lubricant
A walk amongst people the ideal tinder.
We are stars cut loose from our cluster,
Stray clouds drifting indefinitely.
I hear voices in the stores
Advertisements behind my ears
Chattering on the TV
Tires screeching
Sirens wailing.

The people are everywhere.

Like rodents unaware
on the stage of a pompous play.

I want to dig.
Dig 'till my veins throb
Dig 'till my arms buckle
And we find that line where life
Strikes death
Like steel upon stone
In some deep and unseen place
Beneath the pleasant grasses and
Gardens
Of our suburban lives.
