Smoke rises from the grilling domestic symbolism
As rockwellian images frolic in the yard below
Playfully ignorant in the summer sun
Of the metaphysical existence of the modern man
.
Quelling over one's purpose and plan
Slices of potential melt over the now
Heat rises and stifles thoughts
Where is your youthful rebellion?
.
Acknowledgement bores itself
From the fence not tall enough
Escape is found in the call
Dourly you are kitchen bound
.
Existence asks you to pass the ketchup
Purpose is making a mess of dinner
Potential regales in preteen menagerie
Feeling ethereal and connected to it all
.
The sun sets and hot is the wind
Kids shuffle off to while the hours before bed
Wife joins you in staring upon this mess
Of suburban angst that has fallen again
K.Keller – ‘10
