laughing through walls

the walls
were skinnier
than i thought.

on the other side,
all i could hear
was your laughter.

you were with
the neighbors,

i was laid
on my side,
with my black hoodie
protecting my head,
in our apartment,
listening
to your happiness
eating through
the cinder block
wall.

i wasn't wondering
how
you could be laughing.

i was just trying
to remember
what we were fighting
about.
