Won’t call it disappointment
not when it meant little change
to resigned expatriation
Sure, cleaning the space again took
a fair few days but thankfully much
less of an emotional engagement –
And there’s some pride in admitting
self-respect was the magical dab-hand
irony of classically ‘arty’ effects
So the late news nobody was coming
to inspect didn’t make waves – or
spawn grand theatrical agonies;
It’s the best she’s looked in ages
we agreed – as a perfect place those
covetous nobodies will never see
