Survival of the Fittest
The Neighborhood

Julia O’Donovan

Sirens screech to a halt
Down the street
You come in and say
One of the crackheads
down the street od’d
As opposed to the heroin addicts

And Randy sits on his front porch
Drinking his beer
His doctor told him ti exercise
So he walks half a mile to the store
To get his beer
And walks home

The old couple
Came back from Florida
They didn’t have
Their little dog with them
I always wonder
Who will make it back

It was rumored
Eddie’s mom had Cancer
But she’s back on her porch
Watching everyone and everything
And people visit her
To catch up on the gossip

While the sirens go by
