i don't want to hear from the mechanic
or the other mechanic named mark
likewise, i don't want to hear from my landlord
or from the people he hired
to dig a ditch in the yard
the day before christmas
i don't want to hear from either of my neighbors
i like them both
but i don't want to hear trees falling
or from my previous landlord, whom i don't owe rent
i want only to be redacted
steeped and entombed and unread
