Choices on the Quiet Balcony

Clearly the people
Next door
Think that
(IF they are thinking)
Because they can't see anyone
No one can hear them.

People.
 I can hear you (both?)
But one of you is making
Crazy noises of
Happy unhappiness and it's
Like two feet away from me

I have choices

I can close my book and
Slip away from this perfect
Delightful
Peaceful isolated
Fountain lake view
Balcony and give
You
Privacy

Or
Stay where I am
 keep reading
Game of a Thrones
And COUGH REALLY LOUDLY
so you know I'm here.

Choices.
