the
fifty-something
couple
below me
have more
[loud] sex
than me.

they
have accents,
smoke
cigarettes,
and I
hate them.

they are
something-like
happy.]

twenty-something
shut-in,

am
decidedly
not
settling
for a partner
just fine

[for now]

I have
[quiet] sex,
alone,

Which may
Sound sad
In reading.

[tho maybe,
I am
happy too]
