Sunny Pastels

Jon Mathewson

Concrete houses painted
With pastel colors brightened the block
With some nicely installed lawns,
Sprayers on timers,
nicely pruned citrus trees,
While others had no lawn,
just whatever grew,
Mostly sand gouged by children’s play.

A minister lived on the corner,
with his wife, daughters and swimming pool,
Retirees pedaled their three-wheelers
Around and some houses exploded,
Shrapnel from voices bouncing off the
Concrete, two blocks away the mangrove
Was cut for an apartment complex.
Some people cared, but most drove around
The sunny pastels looking for sex.
