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
