What's my neighbor name

It occurred to me the other day that I don't know my neighbor's names

On either side or across the street

Why is it that we never speak

Can't be because we don't have time; am I just that guarded, you know ... just protecting mine

Are the walls I've put up just that thick

Or is this my way of being slick

I'm better than them so I'll let them be

They're not my equals ... they can't fuck with me

Or is it deeper than one might think ...do we all think our shit don't stink

Facebook, twitter or skype or whatever we do ... that form of communication isn't getting ME any closer to YOU

I've heard all that rhetoric on what a village must do

So right here, right now here's what I'm going to do...
I'll knock on your door and say, "how do you do", I was thinking I should become more familiar with you

The next move son ... is clearly up to you
