You must not hurry matters
least your departure from home
throw out the trash
make your bed
wash your dishes.
As you’ll return to a bedsitter
you’ll like
b not pushed off by foul smells
or an untidied room.
You must not rush home
from your place of work
as it is a prescribed method first
you need to apply for the owner:
Telephone answering engage.
DVD movie switched off.
Loudspeakers on the table.
Remote behind the counter.
Lights off and poster into
the entrance beam.
Now then you walk steadily
to the subway station –
Stephansplatz –
Buy some fresh rolls at Ströck
accompanying a meal tonight:
Pumpkin onion stew
cauliflowers raw
in lieu of bread.
Green tea.
Enjoy.
