the castle life

it would be nice to live
in a castle

protected by
the moat and all that.
the steep brick walls,
keeping out the rift raft.
the solicitors who come to call.

the neighbors too.
no need for chit chat about
the weather.
no awkward conversations
about parking,
or the neighborhood picnic
on the 4th.

no one bringing you a tuna
casserole just to say hey,
how you doing.

i'd be done with all that.

just a wave from the high tower
would do.
or maybe shoot a flaming
arrow their
way, just so they get the message.
