Mountain View

After It's Gone Vocal Challenge

One of the joys

of living in the Valley

with my boys

is the Mountain View

only visible through

the laundry room window.

Rattle and bang

a construction gang

descends upon the house behind us.

Now I see

the enlarged behemoth house

looking like a Walmart

rising behind us.

So sad for me,

by the time they put on the roof,

I fear my view

will be kaput.
