Shaft - The Sequel

Ah, city livin'. Noisy, crowded, dirty livin'.

My upstairs neighbor, whose window shares a shaftway with my window, decided to do some cleaning this morning. And shaking out the carpets, usually something done outside (in the country or suburbs), is oh so conveniently done out the shaftway window. So all the dust, crumbs, and crap go flying into everyone's window, and through mine as well, which happen to be open to allow "fresh" air to circulate. Three rugs, she/he shook out. Small bits of detritus not only litter the top of my window air conditioner, they now also litter my sinuses, as I am sitting and sipping coffee on my couch this morn.

Thanks, neighbor!!
