LIGHT CONVERSATION


Fiona over the road asked me
would I please stop shining a light
(my reading lamp)
through her bedroom window.
She said, it's like a searchlight
and these new lamp-posts are the wrong ones
she added
the council will have to replace them.
It might be the angle
you're shining it at.
Thanks for letting me know, I said.

    Very neatly done, Frances, conveys such a lot without obvious sentiment.
