Removal Man

I have no connection to that house
Other than to remember the light bulb
That I broke off his lamp-stand, with my bare hand
Which came through my inexplicable, yet 
Abjectly anxious desire to leave your house quickly

The broken bulb then, and the return of Italo Calvino's book 
Six Memos for the Next Millennium
Which I gave to you, but asked if I could reclaim it
Along with an introduction to philosophy - 
Think by Simon Blackburn, if my memory serves me


This is a poem from Vagaries:
Love of The Key to Room 149
Available as ebook from Kindle
or as a homemade print book and audio cd from  poetryshop
