Suburban Tranquility

Look out from the porch at the surrounding buildings
Hardly a light is visible from the other apartments
The sound of crickets still fill the air

A gentle lapping of the pool water against its concrete cell, trying to escape
A soft buzz of the streetlight is soothing

Not a star is visible, disguised behind the vibrant glow of the nearby city.

Thousands of strangers living together, unknown neighbors, sharing a common ground.
