The poet has to split

His duties

Do his share of work

For the common domicile

Mini-kitchen as working

Domain

Bath

Living/sleeping room

Tidy-up as demanded

By his spouse for five

Years by now.

He flees at 7:52 in the

Morn’

Bus 401 takes him straight

To the U-Bahn system at

The City of Saints –

Heiligenstadt –

It has to be plan B

As Dr S is not available for

A check-up until Friday.

Sunrays shoot down between

Splattered cloud cover

From a white layered pallid

Blue sky:

It’ll be another hot day.

Paraphernalia in the black

Canvas bag

List of items to be bought:

New handy power cable

Swimming cap

Beard trimmer

Find windcheater to replace

Present one.

However all along a labyrinth

To be checked for prices.

Besides he thinks about the

Illustrations that lie between

All random things

He has drawn for his

KING OF ICE

Book of ballads.

Art always took priority

To a bickering partnership

Still ongoing for half a

Century.
