the neighborhood watch

the neighborhood

postings

online, are disturbing

and yet

interesting

at times.

cars being stolen,

accidents.

strange people

prowling the neighborhood

turning doorknobs

in the night.

did anyone hear
that boom or see that fox

in the courtyard,

does anyone

know

why the dunkin donuts

store closed?

are they relocating close by?

were those gun

shots

this morning,

or geese flying by?

an animal chewed up the pumpkin

on my porch

last night, is anyone

else having a problem

with this?

is it too early to put up

lights

for Christmas?

are we supposed to wear

masks this year

for covid?

i have a mattress i need

to sell.
