SETPIECE

Gregory Liffick

My first few years,
before my family
moved to Los Angeles.
A mind’s eye memory
of Mundelein,
a German-Americana suburb
just north and west of Chicago.
Hollywood-like backdrop.
Grassroots scenery.
Well-mown lawns.
Nuclear families.
Kids and pets.
Homes a Chex Mix
of post-war, Victorian
and fifties modern.
Tree houses.
Real seasons.
Snow ball fights in winter.
A “Little Rascals” short.
My older brother and I
banished to the basement
for mischief.
Or secluded there
during my parents’ parties.
Sneaking cool shrimp
from the platter
in the refrigerator.
