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.
