He’d moved again - third time in two years -

And he was looking for a period,

Something worth remark,

Something memorable, 

That he could leave at the end of the sentence.

.

True, he was restless - a little desperate,

Even - as he paced the nooks and crannies,

The worded inventories, archival sentiments

In the sonoral, musical libraries 

That’d previously marked such transience.

.

But there was nothing, at least

Nothing that would fit. So,

He dug up an old photograph,

Tossed his last, unlit cigarette 

.

And reconciled the feeling

That’d have to run parallel

With learning how

To live with it.

.
