tall person







my sleep disturbed
by jolting shove,
my eyes fight battles
with my head.
my ears sort through
fragmented words
i’m sure my wife just said.


“oh david, look!
someone’s outside,
i know they’re looking in!”
oh lord, is it true tonight –
that same old thing again?


“no dear,” i reassure,
“just a dream and nothing more.
there is no person tall enough
to window-peek
tenth floor.”
