What is the main conflict in In the Suburbs by Louis Simpson?

"In the Suburbs" is the second poem in the collection, following "In California," a dark piece about what happens when a dream has gone bad. "In the Suburbs" is only six lines long and comprised of just three sentences, each a separate statement about the emptiness of suburban life. Using the second person "you," Simpson pronounces both the meaninglessness of this existence and the futility of attempting to escape.
