The suburbs are known
For their blandness and
Routine sameness. People
Go to work, come home,
Kids go to school, come
Home. One day the reality
Was shattered when the
Workers going to work
Found a yellow camel
In the middle of the
Road. CNN, ABC,CBS
Were all there to cover
The story.
One day the citizens of a
Small town were shocked
To find a bright yellow
Submarine lying on Main
Street. It just appeared
Overnight, full size, water
Dripping from it. Downtown
Shops were sure their
Businesses were going to
Take a nose dive.
Institute of Emotional Stress, or IES
Is located in a multistory building
Downtown. It is rumoured that their
Treatments were unorthodox to say
The least. Walking by the building
You would always see, on any given
Day, patients being thrown out of
The windows. This is how the
therapists got rid of their stress.
In the spring
This tree has
A thousand myriad
Branches, tender gold shoots
Softer than silk.
In this wild unpeopled field
Who does this willow belong to?
