movie scene poverty

sometimes, driving through impecunious local neighbourhoods
where the houses all look artsy and unique from one another
but the roofs are caving in
and the porches have loose floor boards,
we have some sort of rap or r&b music playing
while the people play with their lawn mowers,
take out their garbage
and go on with their lives,
completely out of tune with the music

(and it seems like a strange scene from a movie)

i'm all disconnected from the whole thing:
the people in their lives
and the other passengers in the vehicle
