NeighborsRead Another

Sometimes, friends. Others, enemies.
Through good times, through bad times.
Long term or short term, they are always there.
Neighbors.
When friends, welcome conversation.
When times are good, open parties.
When long term, many details are understood.
Neighbors.
When enemies, hardly seen and avoided.
When times are bad, little contact.
When short term, missed without loss or sorrow.
Neighbors.
Always there, always a part of the scene.
When one looks for someone else to talk to,
A neighbor can often be found right outside your door.
Neighbors.

— Stephen Hughes-Jelen, Seattle
