Next Door Stranger

Seems like no ones ever home. 

Seems like the place is haunted.  

An old cat sits behind the blinds 

as if it’s keeping watch.  

The garden’s overgrown  

with weeds.  

Once I saw a face appear  

in one of the cellar windows.  

But on that day I had had a few 

and it might have been the booze.  

So anyway I wrote this down 

in case, some day, I meet my muse.
