The Last Stooge
His words travel these ducts at the oddest hours
Cool air displaced as they go by
Delusions on the tip of his tongue
Demanding a blood sacrifice
Could be he released a plague
Left to his own device
It's hum heard right through the wall
As hairline cracks go fissure
War be with my neighbor mine
Undeclared by local law
Say adios to the diplomats
Ignored by the last stooge standing.
Dedicated to the fool next door.

....oh to be a fly on your wall, or glass-to-ear-to wall. Either way, I'm a nosy neighbor until my neighbor(s) scare me shit-less. o_O
The imagery was m night shyamalan-ish. ;) Loved it!

M. Night Shyamalan's not a bad influence, "Lady In the Lake" notwithstanding. I feel like I've been dropped into "Devil" only in a somewhat larger space, a one-room unit. Gotta deal with the devil next door. Thanks Rain! We should compare notes on horror flicks sometime.

This poem evoked images of frightful neighbours. Like I'm listening to conversations by the characters in Rosemary' Baby :) Crowfly, an interesting write.

Thanks Grace! I can only hear this neighbor mumbling, but that's bad enough, nearly as sinister. I'd almost rather deal with Rosemary's neighbors than this guy next door and the plague of bed bugs he's generated. I fear he'll be the one left standing...

Thanks Crim! The guy is deeply disturbing, to me and other neighbors. A talk with the landlord this morning indicates that he'll be out of here fairly soon and placed somewhere he can be monitored. Until then I'm just trying to ignore the craziness next door without going bonkers myself.
