The American Dream


The American Dream-
A short-lived fantasy.

A nightmare-

Of suburban filth:
of plastic forks
and paper plates.

A plastic life-
a conveniently
disposable reality.

The apple pie is rotten.
sprayed with poison
to look pretty
in the store.

I choke on the air
tainted by the minivans
for the 2.5 kids,
the dog, the cat, the lawn.

Trapped in a box
and racing the clock-

Future generations
will be impaled
on the white picked fence.
