Getting To Know My Neighbors

yesterday i went outside
saw my next door neighbor
of five years.

hi trevor, i said.
my name is corey, he said.

i walked across the street
to my neighbor of three years.

hi trevor, i said.
my name is travis, he said.

i went back home.

next morning i went outside
saw my next door neighbor of five years wife.

hi john, she said.
my name is larry, i said.
