sweep

suburbs are desperately quiet.
suburbs are morosely staid.
suburbs are big-burden houses
on dark green lawns. most
of those lawns get mowed
by people who get hired to mow
them. most suburbanites do
not go out and tend their
own lawns. they just look at
them lovingly from the warm well-
designed nooks
of their big kitchens. on some
sunny afternoons,
cute sexy suburban boys sneak
off to distant unsettled
woods, and, there with other cute
sexy suburban boys,
they drink and smoke
and partake of less-than-
legal activities and products.
sometimes these cute
sexy suburban boys strip totally
naked and watch each other
jerk off. then, they
go on back home, close
the shiny solid wooden
doors behind them,
and settle in for
tv,
homework up in their
rooms, and even that
goddamn algebra ii
won't make their
dicks go soft.
