Neighbor Upstairs

neighbor upstairs / elderly / maybe schizophrenic /
lead footed / restless / every day / rearranges furniture /
vacuums carpets / nails picture frames / drops pots and
pans / rolls concrete marbles across the floor / slams
cabinets / blasts 60’s music / interrupts my solace / grit
my teeth till flat / I complain / others complain / promises
lamb quietness / fails / owns monkeys? / petting zoo? / she
speaks / voice aroma of suicide / leave her be / won me over /
explains why the ugliest spiders spin the prettiest webs.
