Mid 60s Ohio
midwest housing developments where cornfields stood
self-contained neighborhoods
a short strip mall with convenience store
pizza and 2-chair salon
summer basketball at Maybury Park
high schoolers and home-owner dads 
hoops till twilight grey
I walked home to Denmark Road
bugs banging street lights
each third house the same
each flickers broadcast TV
synchronized blue emanations
whence to be.
