Writing EDD 1/22/2016 — Suburbs

We don’t make friends with our neighbors

I tell my neighbor as we sip beers that are

Bitter but strong. The kids drive around in electric

Cars and scooters because everything is easy. The skateboard

Wheels hum as my son flies towards the ramp

Effortless balance launching off the top and floating

With spinning wheels and arms outstretched and

Knees bent to absorb the drop holding two arms up in celebration.
