Relative Quiet

For the first time in months, it is quiet (Well, as much as the city can be) ‘Cause the neighbors upstairs (Which caught me unawares) Have moved out, which is super for me. Their wood floors didn’t have any carpets And somebody (a child?) liked to drop Balls or playthings all day (They were never away) And I thought that it never would stop. But a moving truck parked by the building And it loaded up all of their stuff. Now they aren’t around And I don’t hear a sound But the traffic, and that’s quite enough!

I too can relate to this somewhat, except I was smart enough to opt for a top floor apartment. Except for a few weirdos, I love it here. / Sorry for the delay in reading your work, Ilene, but I haven't been well. New medication is causing me unwanted problems, though my provider thinks I'm fine. What medical school on Mars did he graduate from? / M

Aren't you just waiting for the new tenants?! Like, not!! I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the 'Bad' that I'm familiar with than the ??? that I have no clue about... At any rate, enjoy the peace and quite while you can! :) gw
