the apartment



The apartment on minor renovation
The sound of drilling on the floor
Taking off the old tiles water cisterns
Knocking on the doors

The vibration hit the floors
The neighbours look up and watch
Every time they pass the area
The sound of whisper maybe silent protests

The air particles floating
The dust settle on the walls and floors
The cleaning up will take a day or two
Before it will be on a clean sheet of satisfaction

The apartment owner goes to watch
The contractor and his workers doing the job
Carrying bags of cement and sand up the steps
It is heavy with the 50kg bag of cement

He says it isn't a easy walk up the steps
With a heavy load it drains out your breath
It is the work for the able bodied guys
It will be a breeze for these men

The apartment unit will be completed
For now the knocking has been done
The neighbours on the floors will understand
Living on highrise buildings
