2015\yelling

I sit in my morning chair
trying to meditate,
listening to the neighbors
yell.
I sit in my studio
trying to write,
listening to the neighbors
yell.
I practice gratitude,
yes, you guessed it,
listening to the neighbors
yell.
Grateful the yelling
is in their house,
not mine.
Until she leaves,
shouting she’ll have
him arrested,
the rest of what she says
I can’t hear.
