So let me tell you about my neighbor. I don't know her name. We have never spoken a word to each other, Well unless considering unspoken words. Her garbage was in my driveway one day and I was trying to leave so I pushed her garbage in front of her house. At the same time she was leaving her house. Very awkward. She looked at me like she thought I was trying to steal her garbage cans. Everything in the way she looked at me screamed --.>> THIEF!!! THIEF!!! THIEF!!! I was mad. I just looked at her and turned around and backed my car out the driveway.
Anyways, I live in one of the worst neighborhoods in the deadliest city's in northern California. My neighbor whose Caucasian loves going outside in her back yard and telling all her business. Business or personal, She doesn't care. I be like a creeper on my stoop in the dark smoking my weed. She must have a wonderful backyard. I hear water all the time. I'm not sure if it's a koi pond or waterfall but it sounds peaceful. Well the other day i'm in the back smoking and she comes out and is like " Yeah Jeff wants us all to go out but I don't really like him but randy just adores him." I'm thinking to myself who is randy? Is that her husbands name? I don't believe they have children. She told the person who I rent from to not rent to no one who has children. Not that she had a say but for to at least consider her feelings when deciding a tenant. No children lives there so randy? Her husband? Adores Jeff? Adores? How? Now by this time I've concluded that maybe they're into being swingers. I don't know.
She's just blahing blahing on and I'm still puffing on the Jane so i lose some of the conversation. I think what is she talking about now? Blah blah blah, " I'm trying to sell my yacht. Oh yeah were thinking $100,000 not sure yet. You know with all my traveling and he's always working we haven't been out on the water in ages so were going to sell it. Huh? Uh huh". Now I'm thinking to myself why wont she just tell her friend she's going through a divorce. I mean she is talking to her friend right? I don't know. Well anyways, My thought travels back to her owning a yacht. That caught me off guard. Just then, what sounded like it was coming from the yard behind mines a rainfall of gun fire. What's she doing? Sitting on the patio talking. STILL TALKING! I'm like Yo! Your WHITE in a predominant BLACK neighborhood. Their shooting stupid! But maybe I later thought she knew she was safe because she was white. Most black deaths in my neighborhood are caused by other black people. At this time I hear her complaining about her yacht is nice but she really wants a bigger one so they can host social events on it.
And i just think to myself, i wonder what it feels like to have white peoples problems.
