I fear my neighbor
My neighbor fears me
I could walk over
Extend my hand
Share a beer
or three
Get to know him
So he'll know me
But I would rather
Have a cop
Fingerprint,
Grille,
And servaille him
He the same with me
My neighbor likes to walk around
And drive his car on whim
But he could plant a bomb
You see
Such lowers my security
So I require my government
To keep him under lock and key
Within the walls of tenement
Sure he's permitted the liberty
To defecate sans prior consent
If on demand he can present
Valid current photo I.D.
If he wants a loaf of bread
He only needs submit
A document three days before
Which will be duly viewed
His alleged need,
Sifted, spindled, rolled and diced
Must be prior approved
Before the ham and cheese
On separate forms
Will be given heed.

Your poem reminded me of Robert Frost's Mending Fences:
'Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it
Where there are cows?
But here there are no cows.
This is meant as a compliment, since Frost is one of my favorite poets.
