Ex Neighbors
by Jason Fisk
The view is what they moved for
they left the quiet safe
north-side neighborhood
they left the summer wine
on the summer stoops
for the view just above
Lake Shore Drive
and across the street
from Lake Michigan

oh you should see the sun
rise above the lake
in the morning
it’s absolutely breathtaking
he said as he lifted
his red to his lips

the view is so worth it
she said with a grand gesture
of her wine glass
toward the window

the dark window
the one the night hogged

I wanted to ask why
they didn’t invite us
for mimosas
bloody marys
and eggs benedict

but I didn’t
I just looked out
into the darkness
and said
yeah I bet
