First Day

This is the first creative day at my new desk, not in 

the least like the spare bedroom - though the test’s 

measured best by what is produced in the venture; 

probably I’d say that will be little or nothing initially, 

I feel some way from a relaxed comfort level that’s 

like at a table of plenty, there’s too many variables, 

posture for starters, and keyboard height and level 

with screen in front of me as clear and easily read 

But I have a legacy; somewhere in that drear past 

I reflect upon occasionally transition-making aides 

await their indenture, & it’ll be less of a trial - more 

an adventure; while thinking this way allays onset 

of despair it also says adapt quickly, or you’ll bear 

the umbrage of years of creative trepidation
