The Unknown Neighborhood

by Keani Calimpong

My neighborhood is as mysterious as

an unknown alley way

But is friendly enough to make you stay

My neighbors are unknown as far

as my information goes

My neighbors are busy bees

One is a sitter

Her kids seem sweet, but some bitter

One is a gardener

And that makes them a cultivator

The rest are unknown as far

as my information goes

Which makes it hard to decide

who’s a friend or foe

The only interaction we have

is a simple hello

But this is as far as my information goes
