This White Suburban Anthem
an overreaction, a laugh
a disorderly disagreement
between two people who don't talk much
but talk enough so they know what
the other thinks about
politics, immigration and gay marriage
two white men in two polo shirts
wearing khakis and expensive shoes they only wear to work
brown hair, brown eyes, whitewashed minds
these men don't trip when they find out
their significant other regards them as more "other" than "significant"
2.5 kids, a dog and a trophy wife
empty liquor bottles and snuffed out joints
a pool bigger than yours
and four floors of emptiness
fake smiles and fake love
what else is there to hide behind?
