I have to rearrange the Batik on the bannister
In the process, but then firmly fixed
I see a space for a row of my pictures
So self-evident in the course of natural selection
Will I get the idea past management
Who I do know rather cares
For the new desk’s location
Although it was ridiculed at first
I have kept the penny coin (mock copper)
Which sits atop the banister post
What might be its provenance I ask myself
As I take a moment to look out of the window
I bought a shade with a tea candle from Ropewalk
Which says it is not to be left unattended
It is as a counterbalance, to the natural light
Though not yet seen to, or at, its full potential
