Haikus: True neighborhood story

tower near my house

hardhat man says no worries

it's everywhere now


his hood aint my hood.

yellow hardhat and shades hiding

unwanted presence


so then i ask him

do you have one this close, too?

*crickets*   then chuckles


moves closer shades off

chesire cat grin/ dirty hands

says i have daughters


i step back a bit

5 alarms ring in my head

he stops. walks away
