JERK

I can't masturbate with my downstairs neighbors fighting

and it's all I want to do

once you've got your mind set on it, ya know...

but "Get the fuck out of my house" isn't much of a

serenade to the senses

it's got one dog barking

& the other one shaking

doors slamming

curses crossing

is this what love leads to?

I wait for it to get quiet

for long enough at a time

are they done yet?

can I just open up a little by myself?

just be half naked home alone...

and I hear now another "Fuck you!"

and I know

this must be why

I choose just to

fuck myself
