Why Apartments Are Good For You

1. An inheritance of chipped wood
and inebriate notches
awaits you.

2. The sounds that split the walls are sometimes
sweetened with charity. Someone's,
for example,
shower voice.

3. That breeze like those skinned knees
are only rented.

4. A renter's eyes are closer to a
criminal's--
which means a certain hunger
and its attendant
skinniness
stays in your pockets.

5. The walls don't belong to you so
you can't break your hand on them.
