those blades of grass
are going to brown
because we've seen no rain
for weeks
and the kitten
taken too early
from her mother
stinks from not cleaning herself
and the cars on the
street rattle over scabs
of dirt left
by the construction company
and the laundry
remains un-kept-up
in balls and in piles
in baskets and on floors
and something remains
left to be construed
in...
