you know it don’t come easy

yesterday I walked-about

in my new space uneasy 

top floor promised painted

already put-off a week then

three days in still left unstarted

other-work to finish they say and

a new promise for next week;

yesterday I waited 

in my new space uneasy 

hours in the heat of the day

for windows to be measured

in the afternoon 

a courteous young man

arriving on the dot of my leaving;

yesterday I looked-about

in my new space uneasy 

overwhelmed in the yestermorrow 

overwhelmed in the upcoming 

yesterday I walked-about 

in my new town shuttered
