Asserting - smoking

Confrontations avoided
with nice neighbors
but it has to be done
their smoke gets in my food.

Being a child of the 50es
I was not taught to speak up
but to quietly accept
what life offered me.

Asserting myself vividly
is going to be difficult
move away from my windows
when you puff - please

Your habit hinders hopelessly
my enjoyment of eating
but I hope that my disgesting
does not endanger your smoking.
