new homes

use old brick

for “the aged” look

old brick homes

            use young weeds

                        as green roof toppers

new streets

            wind through homes, all

                        are beige

old streets’

            wind-broken branches

                        litter the broken curbs

new neighbors

            park in garages

                        to not see new neighbors

old neighbors

            form cleaning coalitions

                        to save each other
