Exposed.
Rot hides,

persistent,
leaks through

My nosy neighbor
Keeps parading
By my house
Think he’s up
To something sneaky
Just what—
Ain’t figured out
Might be acts
Nefarious,
Or maybe
He’s just nosy
When confronted
He stutters—
His cheeks
Grow red & rosy
His #sonorous
“Mea culpa”
Is kind
As on he moseys
