A house
They built this house
in 1967.
In that year
I had my twentieth Birthday.
They began to fill it
from the top.
I would like to know:
Why?
I know it's just a detail
and it is not important.
I hope the lady
who moved there first
wasn't lonely for long
and soon she has got
the neighbors to love,
to build new friendships,
to gossip and to complain.
She died in 1977.
I turned thirty.
They put the tenants
on the top floor first.
Why?
