At the end of suburban matrix
where the macrosphere meets
Industry and consumer briefly intersect
In the concrete world
where all dreams are asphalt
Orphaned sub-lots overgrown with weeds
Amid cement barriers wire and pipe enter the earth
like a needle into fertile veins
of a patient sustained on life support
Nearby the flies swarm
over pedigreed road kill
Their flesh feeds teeming masses extant
manna from heaven in their exile
as they flee their urban chains
