PREVIOUS TENANTS
Monster homes
Not failed attempts at beauty or stating.
Yet racialised as reverse, foreign
Colonisation. Urban change charged with
anti-environmentalism: "where are the trees?"
The burden placed on those excluded from whiteness
Demonstrate your admissibility.
In the house but not of it.
Grace of a front lawn, stucco sophisticate.All that glitters stuck in the surface.
Sheet shocks sense into reflection.
Wood sliced into beam better becomes
the forest. Can't see the trees for the city.
Could you move to the east? A little further?
