Through the walls

When I was in my twenties
I lived in an apartment
And every Saturday morning
Around 4:00 A.M..
I would hear the couple next door having sex through the walls

I’d lie on my bed
Smoke my cigar
And listen
“Call me a whore baby!” she shouted
“You nasty whore, I’ll fuck you to shreds!” he responded
She moaned and moaned
The lucky bastard…

Sometimes I would jack off and imagine what they were doing though that white wall
But after the first month
It just became mind-numbing
But there was one night I remember clearly
He called her a whore just as he did every other night
But this time
They weren’t having sex

There was the sound of a glass breaking
Followed by a thud smack against the wall
I went outside to smoke a cigarette
And saw the man who fucked her every week in a pair of handcuffs
He was getting in the back of a flashing police car
She was in a ambulance

I never quite understood what it all meant
