Post-boomer couples rebound from their Elements
If from Vermont or from New Hampshire Hummers
to buy boom-boxes, or home entertainment tuners
or high-def liquid crystal wall-screens on which
to view in Blu-ray these untamed animate bestiaries.
From the Best Buy demo leap out luminescent
elastic-limbed cartoon zebras, to the naked eye
as detailed as bas-relief or mosaic tile.
After the party Dad with his sportshirt untucked
forks out plastic, the kids rebound in the backseat,
all that equipment squeezed inside the van.
They had to wear matching shirts and ties
as sales personnel. They were his friends,
suburban post-boomers whose children bound
from the SUV to browse screens and double woofers,
fill each freezing McMansion with light and sound.
