C Ra McGuirt





my tv&my vcr are here,
but i don't live here yet.

the lights, the gas
& the phone are on,
but i don't live here yet.

the cable is connected.
there's a hand towel
by the bathroom sink,

& a cutting board
on the kitchen wall,
but i don't live here yet.

my dope&my pornography
are here. king james
is on the shelf
beside the satanic bible
& several hundred
other books

there's beer&milk
in the frigidaire,

but i don't live here yet.

i'm writing at the kitchen table
until my desk arrives.

my old place will be empty
by this time tomorrow

i'll be living here
by the time i end
this sentence.
