the general goings on of the sun-burnt neighborhood
the scorched-earth summerland fantasy

so many hoses on so many lawns
sprinkle suggestions that the world is leaking

huge asses wave and confirm with round authority
the existence of women out tending gardens

coaxing beauty from life shy to bud
coaxing color into roses

can they cure the bleach?
can the thirst be quenched?

even the grass can't grow in this
can't keep up with the mrs. joneses
