a different song and dance

for weeks
on end i hear nothing
 but Marvin Gaye
and Teddy Pendergrass
on the stereo
next door.
then suddenly i see
that the woman
is with child,
the music doesn't play
anymore.
it's back to the television.
the news
and what not,
a racket with
the installation of child
gates,
and playpens, slides
in the yard.
