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.
