Suburbia: Land of the Walking Dead

Part 1.

Ghostly sport utility vehicles,
With tiny women peeking over the steering wheel,
Creeping down an empty street,
In a neighbourhood with nothing but televisions,
In identicle houses.

I think there's a song in here somewhere.
Face it, suburban living is a kind of living dead existance- or it can be at anyrate. If you know your neighbours and there're things going on all aroung it might be fine. The problem is that many of these are "bedroom communities". That name says something. It says that where you live is not important. Sleeping is a communal event?? What the hell is that except a kind of mass dysfunction?

It's just plain sad.

More on this later.
