On the brighter side - there’s a moment’s glow
to brighten what you’d swear is dourly grey - a
pair of specs unsighted since Tuesday tho’ not
organic to this search appear as if by magic, a
bonus of partial success; smarter surely to see
what you’re actually looking for, but only if you
seriously knew where to really commence that
stolid implementation of a ‘looking for’ plan
spare room bed - you seek an overdue library
book you last saw on your lounge-chair table -
before our lounge room re-design began. With
redecorator expertise she happened to have
slept in this particular bed
would’ve been side by side in the lounge - but
no book is here, so where to next; the recheck
of overdue library notices reveals the book I’m
seeking isn’t the one on their agenda but it is
indeed another which I vaguely remember
overdue miscreant is traced easily because it
remained in your bedroom; so the dilemma’s
exactly where would she have laid away the
remainder of the lounge room library - and its
answer is anywhere with out-of-view space
galore awaiting your grace - and blissfully
the cupboard’s here were never that bare …
