A Neighbour’s

backyard is a noisy
collage
of late night music

stale jokes and lots of
booze. Doesn’t
bother them
if cigarette fumes

drift across
my yard then up
into our bedroom
interrupting a
linkage
of natural desires.

But it’s nice knowing
across the way
are just drunken men

who won’t be able
to find themselves in the
morning.
