the view from my Hyundai Elantra

I've been driving around the houses in Alpine and I've seen 

rich families,

happy families, 

hanging-on-by-a-thread families, 

daddy-doesn't-live-here families. 

I'm driving in Cedar Hills and I see 

broken families, 

we-can't-talk-about-it families, 

new families, 

it's-time-to-let-go families.

I'm in Highland city and there are 

sad families, 

mom-is-stepping-out families, 

cancer-lives-here families, 

still-in-love families.

I'm driving on my street and there are 

blended families, 

we-miss-our-son families, 

its-better-this-way families, 

we-make-killer-bacon families. 

I'm parked in front of my house and there is 

a we-love-each-other family, 

a mom-can't-do-that-anymore family, 

a we-don't-believe-in-God family,  

a we-are-doing-relatively-good-thanks-for-asking family.
