Homegrown
ReplyDeleteThe natives are restless tonight.
Embedded in the soft plush
Of suburbia, far from their homeland,
Sent to study the enemy,
This is one way to earn respect
From an indifferent air force father,
Having lost in the free market,
With a house under foreclosure,
Sending wife and children
Back to Pakistan for their safety,
All that’s left is one spectacular
Fireworks display in Times Square.
