Sub urban

Sub urban

a lolling, listless layer anchored onto the nucleic core
: dim motionless electrons, chaotic mitochondrial sprawl, awkward indefinite ellipses...

forcefully renatured with innumerable off-ramps
bonding interminable driveways.

intricate systems of speeDBumps and rosy playgrounds
,evenly distributed and meticulously maintained.

general forecast :intermittent precipitation
with the sprinklers turned on at night.

named for forgotten ideals: New Haven, Springfield, Eden...
painted :beige on green over asphalt.

cookiecutter homes tucked neatly away
behind stripped malls.

invariably sterile,
unnervingly sane.
