Boys with .22s
shoot bottles out in the woods,
heard but never seen.
Skinny high school girls
vomit on manicured lawns
while parents travel.
Silent lanky deer
graze from sprouting flower beds.
Let them eat it all.
Angry teenagers
spray paint "fuck" on traffic signs
for no real reason.
Slow, stubbly fathers
skin their large, greasy knuckles
fixing bikes and cars.
The ice melts inside
the big, blue cooler of beer
sitting by the pool.

Nice. This one feels like the jogger from "Birthday" has decided to record a week's worth of what he saw while running. Which is a good thing.
