the mayor of the cul de sac

my neighbor becky
leaves
a note on my door. rather a manifesto
not unlike
luther's
during the reformation.
you have
put your trash out too early.
and it's not
double bagged.
today is a holiday, didn't you
read the memo?
plus, i see you've painted
your door a color
that's not on our list.
you have one week
before fines are imposed.
i don't hate becky.
i don't despise her or wish that
she'd get poison
oak where it's embarrassing
to scratch.
but she does annoy me.
i'll leave it at that.
