In the suburbs a girl alone is safe
Empty streets, adolescent trees
Sidewalks three strollers wide
Helicopter girl grinding
on classroom iPad
algebra, essays, or snapchat
A girl alone in the suburbs sexting behind bedroom
Closed, mom
splashes nonfat from the milk carton
just jogging, cougar legs
grateful that the Anderson boy
still strips before he mows
and that they haven’t hired
a gardener like so many others
Who might be an ax murderer
Or an immigrant
