Relief courtesy dreaded (re:) inspection not revisited until May 2022

Anticipatory anxiety put on high alert

when the warden gave less than a week

courtesy spluttering tone of voice
she did angrily blurt

nsync with her usual persona

being wickedly curt

treating us (myself and missus) like dirt

gloating in our writhing adversity

poor, sharecroppers, no matter yours truly indigent

no matter exhaustive effort I do exert

to secure living income/wage, thus flirt

with visions of illusions grandeur

analogous to taut pulled belt girt

tightly around psyche whereby temple hurt

with unbearable agony

rendering these lovely bones inert.

Grosse and Quade Management

at 2 Highland Manor Apartments

with Jackie Geiger at the helm

finds yours truly afflicted with weak

praise, cuz she left us

(meself and the missus)

in figurative darkness,

whereby I electronically bellow and shriek

silently critiquing as if writing op/ed

for Time magazine and/or defunct Newsweek

perhaps under heading summarizing healthweek,

which hypothetical issue possibly considered

virtual collector's item

and subsequently unreal antique.

Nevertheless said rich daddy's princess

forewarned yours truly and spouse

dated June 24th, 2021,
quoted verbatim as follows:

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Harris

Due to your recent annual inspection,

we will be re-inspecting

your apartment on Tuesday, June 29th

from 11am-4pm.

We will be conducting

the inspection to ensure

you are making progress

cleaning your apartment,

especially your kitchen and bathroom areas.

We also want to keep up
with eliminating your fruit fly issue

in your apartment.

The above date came and went
(as did two other recently lapsed dates),
we never got notified

approximately five year tenant

logically concluded - and anger pent
up inside furious enough
methinks gross analogy when
twenty eight National Guardsmen

fired their weapons at a group

of anti-war demonstrators at Kent

State On May 4, 1970,

now mine poem attains completion extent.
