It just dawned on me

Emma said , “let’s invite him over ,it can’t hurt “. I said .. “Fuck offff ” And she invited him over . It was all pretty cool , conversation was reasonable , he went back inside to his lady friend from the Phillipines , and it was done ……. but it wasn’t ..and isn’t . You see he’s a harmless guy and just craves attention … and that’s the crux of the matter . But wait , let’s step back . He said hello to the girl who lives above us , but she wouldn’t reply . Just last week they seemed on good terms . He then tells me he’s got a restraining order against her flat mate ( a guy ) . We don’t know why or even if it is factual . He hates his other neighbours . They tell me they found him in their laundry , so they squirted him with a hose and told him to get the fuck away . I came back from the park with Leroy through the back door ,and he came in unannounced through the front door , wanting to debate with Emma the good of marijuana and why I should consider it an alternative to alcohol ( beer) . He rings me twice a day . Our other neighbours who I just met today , tell me that he turned up to their party last week and invited himself in to play corn hole ( beanbag in the wooden platform hole thing ) . Admittedly on the front footpath . I’m getting it now ….. totally . I know I’m stupid and a little naive and I did see the warning signs , but that’s not what I’m talking about . It’s the beautiful sunsets , the afternoons on the weekend , the front balconies, the view …. No one seems to be out there soaking it in … I now know why
