Subscribing in the Suburbs
       

Where are the comics online?
There's a lot I miss.
Read fast. Skim the world.

Sooner or later, you admit
you miss the feel of the paper,
the way you lost yourself inside

it as you held it with both
hands and pulled it close
to read the whole story, how

it changed you , like a good book
that someone had taken the time
to research. Now you're

in the suburbs. Half-gas,
half-electric, hybrid
of the next century.
