The delivery man
Buzzes
Once, twice

And the footsteps come
Clop, clop
Creaking floorboards

The door downstairs
Swings open

A package gets dropped
On the floor

The door
Slams shut

The unit above ours
Goes back to what they were doing

The delivery man
Goes to another delivery

And we lie in bed
Waiting, listening
