1/ Keeping an eye on drug house's customer, who made it as far as the empty lot - which means she's outside our kitchen window.
We gave our naloxone kit to another who needed it this week, but there's a drugstore at the corner...

2/ She's okay, so far. Moving now, slowly. Getting herself together.
Looks like she'll be okay.
Doesn't know I'm keeping an eye out for her from inside - not just in case of overdose, but in case of assault or theft.
I resent the drug house for the way it eats their lives and

3/ selfishly for the way it turns the neighbours into caregivers, security guards, informants.
She's managed to get to her feet. Fix her hair, like she's in a trance. Saunter away in slow mo.
Didn't need the kit. Phew.
All of it very quiet, not like the nightly commotion of

4/ the drug house - the yelling, screams, banging. The things that keep us up and alert - leaving our bed to come down and watch from our deck, 911 and 211 waiting for us to confirm the violence.
We are so tired.

6/ the obligation to keep our neighbours safe.
Why do it?
Because one time, many years ago, our neighbour was attacked outside our house at 3:30 am and we were moments too late.
The murderers were well-heeled (literally) lads from the burbs, out to beat up the poor people in

7/ the inner city. Back when Klein was modelling his drunkard's contempt by coming here to abuse the poor.
I never want to be too late again.
I wish our leaders prioritized science and compassion over ideology.
I want the drug houses closed and a safe supervised alternative.

8/ PS: the young woman was wise to hide in the vacant lot. Young women don't fare well if they stay in the drug house. A former resident told me what happens to them in there, and we have seen them leaving the house, partly clothed, drugged insensible.
