It seems Nextdoor attracts a local group
with whom I wouldn’t party or converse
about the things that interest me. Each scoop
of news reports a lurk or something worse:
invasion caught on camera from a stoop;
smashed auto glass; a shoving grab of purse.
They write of fright at noises every night
that aren’t like the varmints in my site.
