starting the fire

your neighbor
is often
putting notes on
your door,
or slipping an
envelope
into the slot
about some charity
she wants you
to donate to.
the notes vary from
putting
the trash out too
early,
to why is that ladder
still on
your truck,
to perhaps
that bush in your
front yard
should be trimmed
back. it's
attracting bees.
sometimes it's an
invite
to her yoga class
that she puts on
in her living room,
or a cookout
she's having
in her back yard.
she's quite the writer.
her penmanship is
superb,
always signing
it, your neighbor
becky.
they are handy little
notes, good
for getting the fire
going in
your fireplace.
