Overheard Through My Window in Queens

I couldn’t sleep last night because of the pain, and was elated to finally fall into slumber at the crack of dawn. Only to be awoken by annoying song birds, a woodpecker drilling another useless hole, a squirrel trying scrape his way through my thru-the-wall air conditioning unit, and little fucking boy hitting a concrete wall with a sledge hammer.

Queens Father
That’s it, Jimmy! Keep hitting it!

Queens Kid
I’m gettin’ tired, Dad.

Queens Father
Quit yer whinen’ and keep swingin’

Queens Mother
Come on, Frankie. Give him a break!

Queens Father
Hey, Womens-Lib you want to come out here?

Please free me from my prison.
