An Ode of Shifting Space

As I packed my belongings

I tried hard to breathe in the memories

I left nothing but the dried roses

I hired a small pick-up to take away the little that I own

x x x x x x

x x x x x x

As I locked the door

I experienced the emotion

I made a promise to cherish the humble space

That was a home of mine since the last summer

x x x x x x

x x x x x x

I drove ahead

Heading to a new space

I was tired and sweaty on that humid summer day

Yet I felt fresh in my new found kingdom

Seeing the welcoming white weeds

x x x x x x

x x x x x x

In my new space

I felt the emptiness

I could hear the echo

I bought a TV, a washing machine and a fridge

So my new space is now vibrating

Then I bought a sofa set and a coffee table

So it is filled and stuffed

Later I will get a bed, an electric stove and a play station

So it will be a place to dream, dine and dodge

In my new space

I felt naked and exposed

The curtain man promised to come

But he missed his appointment

In the meantime, the bed cover keeps my privacy

In my new space

I waited for days

For the cable guy to come and get me connected

Now I have had the Internet and the cable TV

So the new drama begins.....
