That Number
A man has moved to number thirteen,
which a previous resident had left -
to go to hospital. She died there.
That apartment, see? Number thirteen.
This man is a preacher guy – Christian.
Look forward to challenging his beliefs in spirity things.
He may go mad if I get to take on his fancies.
He’s in number thirteen, see?
That can bring luck -
sometimes good, but often bad.
He may be a nice guy. Who knows?
But he is at number thirteen.
