the absurdity of suburbia

 the absurdity of suburbia


the man with the plastic bag stands patiently

his dog is having a shit on the council’s grass verge

pristine

soon he will pick up the shit while it is still warm

and squish it into the appointed bin 

anointed with the frankincense of putrefaction 

jesus christine 

both the man and his dog are satisfied

a few lampposts to pee on and to count the way home

either side of their lead suburbia is quiescent
