Three nearly-full-hard-drives;
Chrome watch, clasp left open;
A battered brown leather wallet;

Half-eaten packet of Orbit chewing gum;
Invoice for £45, number 015;
Nine wires, mostly black and two white:

Desk Snapshot.

Weary woman wearing a bandana;
Young man trying to rest, his face covered.

A bird flies into the departure area:
Dirty looks.

Water laden hat,
Not wet enough to wring out.

A new step;
Water seeps under my foot.

Fat blobs of water
Smudge the Underground Map.

Drub betas on the roof, fingers tapping the tiles.
I peer outside, past two windows.
It's pissing it down.

My room is covered with someone else's boxes and belongings.
My own things contained on one lonely round table.
"I just want to get everything put away before Friday."

Bags of rubbish surround the bin,
"What should I do with this Mr?"
"Put it in the bin, it's all rubbish."
Soon the floor is covered in papers.

Isle after isle of the same thing,
73 kinds of chocolate - all of the contain nuts.
37 varieties of washing powder.
