No sooner does the eastern building rise,
than framing to the north of me begins.
At least this one will not assault my eyes –
it happens that I’m windowless that way.
I’m hopeful neighbor noise won’t agonize
(the owners seek no tenants for the space).
We spoke; I read the plans; it’s no surprise
to see this edifice. The origins
of density demand a compromise.
