Sub-Urbia

Outside the urban landscape….
What hides in our lives as it coincides with the strides
of antelope on African Savannahs?
Suburban Safari Societies in their stamped-out
man-made homes on their clear-cut,
man-made savannahs.
Fear of the wilds of the woods.
Fear of not being able to see off into the distance.
Fear of being brought down by a lioness, by the neck,
unable to put up any resistance.
You must understand your roots.
Leave the suburbs to the suits!
I’ll take the sounds of the city
or my hiking boots.
