O Suburbs

O Suburbs
Do your trees embrace you
Like lovers?
Are your ample lots the full breasts of
__Middle-class dreams,
Dotted with the nipples of four-bedroom houses and
__the aureoles of driveways and swimming pools?
Do you quiver to open your legs
__to coming cocks of immigration
__and moan to the prowess of
__North America
__as the children spill out
__thirsty for the milk of gasoline
__crying for the cradle of the SUV

O Suburbs
Do you lick your fingers as
You suck the bones of
Africa, Asia, and Latin-inflected lands?
Do you lick your lips
__as they watch you
__fuck yourself
__on screens 30' high
__and wish they were
____inside you
______like me?
