Suburbia Danica

Our paths are paved here

with smooth black asphalt

lined with s-cut stones

so we won't have to touch

ground

between our semi-detached

houses

and our small fenced gardens.

Our paths lead to nurseries

and to school

and a medium sized supermarket

and they are all flanked with well kept

bushes and lawns

This is Suburbia Danica

Our paths are made like circles

so we stay

Our children don't get lost

and our happiness doesn't

escape.
