Lincolnshire
lincolnshire is my jam
navy blue pt cruiser with 2 flat tires
right out there in the sunshine
and a swimming pool
with kids in it screaming
5 pm or so
all the 2-story houses look like they just got off work
pissed off and super-tired
and "work" is basically just staying there
in place
not falling into the earth
but they seem like they are ready to
and here we are ladies and gents
the skunk smell becomes a gasoline smell and then
poof
the smell of weeds and flowers
fresh cut
old lady perfume
and windex
etc.
they moved didn't you hear?
everywhere you look is lived in
is about to be taken away
aluminum siding sliding into the abyss
and concrete
like saltine crackers
2 mexican kids beating on a garage door
with a big tree limb
and the bleach-blonde
older lady next door
just getting off work
spots a glass bottle in her yard
and she says
completely sincerely
there's a bottle over here kids
in my yard
not supposed to be here OK?
let's pick it up
