I heard a noise,
keys tapping glass,
were you outside
at the window,
hampered by sleep,
I couldn't tell,
couldn't make out
the sound inside,
eventually,
the tapping stopped,
I checked my phone
for messages,
as I awoke,
our neighbor played
music loudly,
mostly bass notes,
recognizing
nothing, I got
ready to run,
in winter warmth,
drowned out by sounds,
daylight woke me,
sirens singing,
call me ashore,
asleep past noon,
I work at night,
it's my excuse
to live my life,
no nine to five,
no morning shifts,
next to never,
night owls at dusk,
on occasion,
I work private
events early
in the morning,
if the money's
good, make it rain,
get lit, don't trip,
it's just daylight,
sirens at night
in the city,
ignore the noise,
someone's problem,
even my cat
purrs while kneading
the bed, "biscuits"
my girlfriend says.
