For over 16 years, this eastern wall
has kept a neighbor’s yard from seeing me.
I’ve heard the tenants rowdy, and recall
the time a beer can landed on my deck.
But mostly it’s disturbed me not at all,
until the owner shared his building plan.
The structure he intends will not be small:
two levels up, wide as the property.
I may erect a blind before this fall…
