Lizz Murphy - Poem 344: Life in the suburbs



LIFE IN THE SUBURBS

1.
whipper snippers
like chain saws or cows
separated from calves

2.
hot water pipe
calling
dingo yearning

3.
living dangerously
screen door unsnibbed
footsteps

  3. Thanx heaps Susan and Efi. Have to confess I think the cow and calves thing is recycled from a much earlier poem - but it's what came to mind at the time :)
