White picket fences Four family houses Checker pattern apron Pie left to cool on the windowsill Watching Andy Griffith Paying some old television bills and hoping the kids will notice Anything but the coldness that lies outside the front porch The one with the swing This is the American dream Not really knowing what "minority" means Fighting for a penny to put in a candy machine "Oh, where did it go?" Some people ask As if corruption was a thing of the past
