On rainy, weary afternoons
my internet connection lags—
not due to wires becoming wet
but from my sleepless neighbor streaming
videos in lieu of dreaming.

On rainy, empty afternoons
my internet connection slows
not due to wires becoming wet
but from my sleepless neighbor streaming
videos in lieu of dreaming.
