Born in the mountains,
this recipe for lentils
conquered the suburbs.

The promise of green
grass stretching across the lawn
calms my city nerves.

Here comes the bacon,
crumbled into delicious
crispy-crunchy bits.

Faces on the train
smirk while pretending to read
books and magazines.

Red and white balloons
bunch together in bunches.
Breathe the helium.

At twelve years of age,
he knows simply everything
about everything.

The shy projector
protects its weary lightbulbs
against PowerPoint.

By blowing on twigs,
we will eventually
get this fire started.

Dozens of dresses
fall by the wayside. She wants…
fancy first day clothes.

Walking in circles
around a sunny green park;
around and around.
