Pain & suffering in suburbia

The neighbours are fighting again. Mostly it’s the wife, yelling her head off at her husband. She seems to be the one who started yelling first. I can’t understand what she’s saying, it’s just coming across as a fairly nasal, hoarse kind of braying. The occasional expletitive is the only word I’ve been able to comprehend. When her husband responds, also by yelling, his voice is fairly faint in comparison. Then she starts up again. And all the dogs in the neighborhood go off.
It’s deadly quiet in the neighborhood other than the sounds of their screaming. They do it fairly regularly, or so my husband says. But I only started noticing recently, now that the weather is warmer and I have the window open next to my computer.
I absolutely hate it. There is so much pain and anger in the air. I sit here here wincing. I would call the police, but I can’t really tell which house it’s coming from – over the back fence, one or two houses to the left maybe. I don’t know the house number, I’m not even sure of the street they would be on.
He just screamed “FUCK YOU!” really loudly and she just kept right at him, voices trailing off like he was trying to walk away and she was following him.
It’s quiet now. The only sound is the wind rushing through the trees and the occasional wind chime. I hate all the pain.
