EQUALITY IN SOCIETY
looking down from the window by my kitchen sink, you can see below into several floors of kitchens & living rooms of tenants in another apartment building across a courtyard. late one night i was at the tap drinking a glass of water when i happened to notice a large mouse scurrying to & fro on some sorry bastard’s tile. i called my girlfriend into the room to witness the funny spectacle. after a minute, the critter made a sudden dash & vanished. then the light came on, followed shortly by the appearance of a young woman in pajamas & a small dog. we made a valiant effort to get her attention (you’ve got mice!) as she buried her face in the refrigerator… waving our arms & banging on the window like mad. she saw us. she ignored us.
& though, to her, we must be “those weird people across the courtyard” now, she is undoubtedly “that funny mouse lady across the courtyard” to us. selah.
