we're not done yet

i hear
nothing from the neighbors
on either side.
not a peep from
their children
or dogs either.
i wonder
if they hear me.
my morning cough.
my flushing
of the toilet.
my off key singing
in the shower
and out.
why are they so quiet?
can they hear
my music,
my television.
my lover crying out
in the midnight hour,
hey,
we're not done yet.
