Residential neighborhood
But still, "the city"
Means houseless wanderers rummage
Through household scraps and garbage
My bedroom door is closed
Attempting uninterrupted rest
At the bottom is a gap
Wide enough for cats paws
Scratching, quizzically asking for admittance
A pause.......
and an attempt anew.
Adult children wander the house
No subtlety in opening and closing rooms
Or cabinets
Foraging for late night bowls of cereal
