Crack Heads
Her voice penetrates my southern wall
Rants and raves around midnight
And the company she keeps
Mumble words of amusement
She might have used a Pyrex pipe
Equipped with a filter, steel wool
The crack melted into its fiber
Vaporized right to the head
The final result is blurting rage
Tirades against this man next door
His complaints of voices in the night
Assaulting their cracked skulls and ears
They later cackle down the twisted streets
Ones that they proclaim their own
Delusions of the pipe grandeur
Can't conceal that their minds are blown.

You need to move! Man oh man, I wish for you the resources to move away.
Sounds dreadful. 🙄
Hang in there

I will move eventually, but how eventually I'm not sure. The crack head next door failed to get her lease renewed because of all the noise, and obvious drug trafficking. Buyers would actually come to my door by mistake occasionally, requesting a specific amount of crack. But I never complained to the landlord or cops, just her. Hopefully the next tenant will be minus the pipe. Thank you Jackie!

I reside in the town of crack so this resonates strongly. It not a pleasant vision/image. I just wish they f off & crawl back into their rat holes. Good & meaningful write.

I sympathize. This L.A. suburb is not exempt from this drug, one I do my best to avoid. The thought crossed my mind to try it until I saw the a-holes involved. I'll stick with the weed. Thanks Trouble!

Lol. I used to be a speed-head, turned my mouth inside out, twisted my words into nonsense of gibberish. There is a video of me off my head. Not my proudest!

This is how I dealt with a neighbor :
You Got To Fight Back Against A Crack Attack
With A Sound So Loud So Proud Thus Opera
Got Your Back Like A Smack In Their Face
Drive Them Into The Streets Beat Erased
Are The Smiles While You Sit With A Shotgun
If You Got One On The Porch Torching Up A Big One
Or At Least A Broadsword Or Samurai Blade
And Tell Them It's All Over When The Fat Lady Sings
They Got Ten Minutes To Clear Out Everything !
( I really did use opera to drive crack / meth heads away )
Nice Story / Poem , CrowFly !

I thought about turning my speakers to the wall and blasting heavy metal, but that might have driven ME bonkers, depending on the band. I'm honored that you provided a poem for my write. Thank you so much Blackwolf!

Things will hopefully be quieter with the new neighbor. I think the landlord has learned to be more selective. Thanks Jackie!

It's this one neighbor that's really causing problems. And she's so blatantly obvious with the drugs I'm amazed she hasn't been busted by now. So we'll see how it goes with the next tenant. Thank you Grace!

Hope you get a good family with 'picket fence' mentality, the next time round, Crowfly. I lived in a flat before...I get all sorts of neighbours including nosey parkers and catwomen with dozens of smelly cats. Glad I moved back to the countryside.

Thank you Brenda! It's intense because I was so angry writing it. This was honestly cathartic to write.
