I Believe My Neighbors Hate Me
I believe my neighbors hate me
And they're training their dogs to do same
As they pull on their leash
Zig zag through the street
In the serpentine dance of the mask
No music is needed as edicts are heeded
And fear counts the beat in their heads
It's a masquerade ball for long short or tall
Carriaged babies denied passing eyes
Hug their dogs and ask what's going on
