An Ode To High-Rise Suburban Living
Why would anyone pay upwards of 700,000 bucks Malaysian
For watching white headlights and red tail-lights
Snaking along a highway in the distance to the right,
An ambulance with sirens blaring elbowing its way through a traffic light intersection
Not too far away to the left
And deafening fireworks exploding in the skies above the housing estate across the road in front
At balcony height from a thirtieth-floor luxury condominium unit
Smack in the midst of a chunk of a smog-polluted section of suburban Province Wellesley?
Baffling.
