The Power Saw

The power saw is screeching,

Interrupting every thought.

I’m sending silent messages,

Which all add up to naught.


Of course, the neighbors have a right

To work around the house,

The same way I’m entitled

To both seethe inside and grouse.


A quiet Sunday afternoon

Was what I’d hoped to get.

Instead, my peace disturbed,

I grit my teeth and moan and fret.
