Upstairs Neighbor Kitchen Construction Haiku

It's been a long week,
every day early and late,
bleary-eyed subway.

Ten p.m. Friday
polishing the appeal brief
until commas shine.

Saturday morning
sleeping in, at last!
Pounding starts at nine.

Hammering, sawing,
thumping, drilling, banging clangs -
pillow can't fight back.

I like M. and R.,
hope their kitchen turns out well
but more quietly.
