Poetry

Floor 2

Garbage trucks and Beer bottles clanking

Cell Phones, car alarms, bouncers yelling

The hoarders apartment below wont stop smelling

And I can't fall asleep tonight

My door is buzzing, the smell of stale beer in my sheets

The pizza place is booming, there isn't one seat

I can't believe all the vomit in the streets

And I can't fall asleep tonight

I hear mice scrambling on the floor

They are in my dogs food bowl

No heat and its out of my control

And I can't fall asleep tonight

The Freegan's are muffling through the trash

The doormen are taking the cash

The DJ is playing the Clash

And I can't fall asleep tonight

Should I stay or should I go

I'm gonna walk right out that door

I'm gonna go down one floor

And say Hello

Fun Fact: I thought it would be fun to put up one of my poems ! We lived above a bar for five years in NY and saw and heard everything!
