solving problems in the walk up

i tell the landlord

that

there are mice in the floorboards.

he calls

the super.

Max, who comes

over with

a flashlight and a hammer,

and a hunk

of cheddar

cheese.

one by one he takes care

of the mice.

anything else, he says

while i'm here?

yeah,

the radiator is making

noise at night.

he goes over and taps

it a few times.

okay, that should do it.

there you go.

sleep tight.
