The Day Before You Came |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do. |
My train, I’m certain, left the station just when it was due. |
I must have read the morning paper going into town, |
and having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned. |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine, |
with letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed. |
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so, |
the usual place, the usual bunch. |
And still, on top of this, I’m pretty sure it must have rained. |
The day before you came. |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two. |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue. |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day |
without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away. |
At five I must have left, there’s no exception to the rule, |
a matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished school. |
The train back home again, |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then. |
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within its usual frame. |
The day before you came. |
Must have opened my front door at eight o’clock or so, |
and stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go. |
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV. |
There’s not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn’t see.1 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten. |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then. |
I must have read a while; |
the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style2 |
It’s funny, but I had no sense of living without aim. |
The day before you came. |
And turning out the light, |
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night. |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain. |
The day before you came. |
