Oh I so know the feeling. Our building makes smokers go to the edge of the property to smoke, out behind the car park. Thankfully. But sometimes people sneak a smoke on their balcony. Gah!
That’s something I can’t stand, someone else’s smoke. Luckily we don’t have that problem, but many years ago we had a creepy neighbour who used to walk around the back of our house and peer into windows, making the dog bark, he also used to look up at my teenage daughter’s bedroom window. When we spoke to the police about him he stepped it up by carrying an air riflle. I wish I'd played the French horn back then.
Vengeance or serenade? The poem implies vengeance, but also a decreased ability to breathe. Maybe this poem is a Mobius strip of horror? Ha!
ReplyDeletePS: LOVE the music.
ReplyDeleteI'll take French horn music over cigarette smoke any day!
ReplyDeleteSome people have no regard for others .. sigh..
ReplyDeleteNeighbors come in all sizes, and shapes.
ReplyDeleteI like this. It made me smile about all our human games.

ReplyDeleteHmmm. Sounds like you and your neighbor are at war with other.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you paint scenes from your life (hopefully fictitious) to such great musical accompaniment.
ReplyDeleteWell-played! ;)
ReplyDeleteAn unfeeling neighbor. But music fills up the air. Nice.

ReplyDeleteLol! Go for it!
