lyrics

Dog bark rhapsody
and lawn maintenance gear
ring in the suburb morn


Amid Shangri-La,
the gross neglect of sparrows
dooms the morning air


Eyes never meeting,
neighbors murmur good morning
then move along mute


Housewives jog to Starbucks
flaunting pink spandex leggings
and designer sneakers


Baby on Board sticker
like a magic talisman
wards off all evil


Carefully arranged,
the living room furniture
circles the TV


Sunday barbeque
Rolling Stones’ “Gimmie Shelter”
Cold beer in coolers

The Nielsen boxes
of America reside
within these four walls


xxxxx BREAK FOR GUIT. SOLO xxxx


Birthplace of garage bands
Apathy Incubator
The Block Grant Hustler


If your fucking dog
Pisses on my lawn again
I’ll call the police


Sally’s all grown up
Graduated from Ritalin
to Adderal


Thousand dollar stereos
play hip hop music about
life in the projects



Old man drools over
high school car wash faux virgins
all for charity


My hometown has two
humane societies but
no homeless shelter


What miracles left
in a world where any star
might be an airliner?


If there were no street signs
or numbers on mailboxes,
could you find your way home?
