Dear future residents of 188,
good luck.  We lasted a year,

slightly over, it was rough 
at times, I guess I forgot how

much until the neighbor upstairs
asked to bless the place with 

Holy Water. I let her, hope it 
helps, but if it doesn’t just know 

that there is very little that time 
cannot make tolerable, 

that after a while you might hear 
rats in the wall and think hey, 

we all want the same thing, 
really, a place to call our own.
