Moving to a new area,
Strangers to the locals.
A family of five.
Unlike their new neighbors,
Peeping through window shutters
Beady eyes watching them.
It's unsettling.
It's the weekend,
Sunny outside,
The family should be seeing their new neighbors,
But nobody is out.
Only looking out through their house.
How unsettling.
It's unwelcoming
Having strangers stare at the newly filled house.
The air is hot and unforgiving.
Sweat sticks to the moving in family,
Not a neighbor comes by.
Only eyes are watching.
The day grows hotter with the staring eyes watching.
The new family questions their move.
Why are their new neighbors starring?
It's unsettling.
What a disaster,
This neighborhood is uncomfortable.
All the boxes are in the house.
The new family hurries in.
The eyes are still watching,
The new family watches back.
It's unsettling living here.
