Notes About The Poem

I  APPRECIATE WHEN THE NOISE ISN'T  PRESENT.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY.

There Goes the Neighbourhood

Common complaints causes construction cautions
Builders  banging boulders 
Battling brash big mouths
Next. Frightening fractured 
features free of foundation

Opened and operated officially
Neighbors napping lacking 
Sleep slowly rising dealing with
DUSTY  floors maybe must have
Heaved a heavy mop DAY by day
Or not.

Having hungry man. Dinners and TV.
For featured EXHAUSTION leads to 
Quizzical  self: TV or not TV.  NOW
Builders were BANGING  and boulders
We're booming.  Here comes HEAVEN

Crashing down on MORNING.
EARLY  midnight  storming.
As some began their mourning 
And I was JOINING. 
What an unbearable noisy 
Nuisance.  There goes the neighborhood
Thunderous and numbing. 

Not ENOUGH sleep.  I tried to weep.
Thought maybe I'd  cry myself To
Sleep.  Neighbors yelling, dogs 
Barking. I joined  in. 
A pity.  SINK  OR. SWIM.
THAT'S DEEP.
