gestures for use on the neighbours it'll ward off isolation
foreign no longer but privately guarded
buffered against secrets we're neighbours now
lock in with these people
click eyes like desert lizards
and lick at the brickwork to heal its insurance
throwing up our arms to gravy like a sports fan
an energy of invite despite they each see the other
****** near every day
fun hats and clothes picked for colours
or practical aging
like mating flare
use up the garish leftovers from the artists box
and a dog perhaps
garnish for the family way
a long ladder shared between neighbours
cause 'hey ! ; our kids match your kids'
and always work toward the perfect sale
prepared for that one forgiving day
and 'The Move'
