Independence Day
Independence from the Motherland
whether country or familial,
celebrations lighting the sky,
sometimes legal, sometimes not
The sirens fill the night, police
cars trolling back alleys, young
men making a run for it,
beer sloshing from open cans,
joints, still lit, drop to the ground.
No sleep tonight for this neighborhood.
