open lots are / posh lifestyles

(an anti-poem)

open lots are being grabbed
the speculation has begun
leading me to wonder just

and unjust

how long my neighborhood
will retain its special funk
that currently keeps out yuppies

to adjust

the preparation by their caring
elders underscores the lack
of understanding and investment

of mine

as far away as -Park
and -Heights in their whitewalled
fenced-in pre-determined posh

lifestyles.
