welcoming new neighbours

new family moved in down the hall.
i baked oatmeal raisin cookies yesterday,
and we have a bouquet of daisies on the table.

my first thought,
to welcome them with flowers and biscuits,
wrapped up in tissue paper,
with a nice card.

but then i thought,
will they worry that the cookies are poison?
that this is creepy?
that we are swingers?

what a world in which to welcome new neighbours into...
but i'm doing it anyway.

to hell with the consequences.
