Must have left my house at eight, because I always do

4/11/2009 4

My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due

4/11/2009 5

I must have read the morning paper going into town

4/11/2009 6

And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned

4/11/2009 7

I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine

4/11/2009 8

With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed

4/11/2009 9

I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so

4/11/2009 10

The usual place, the usual bunch

4/11/2009 11

And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained

4/11/2009 12

The day before you came

4/11/2009 13

I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two

And at the time I never even noticed I was blue

4/11/2009 14

I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day

Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away

4/11/2009 15

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

4/11/2009 16

A train back home againUndoubtedly I must have read the

evening paper then

4/11/2009 17

Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame

I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so

And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go

4/11/2009 25

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

4/11/2009 26

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

4/11/2009 27

The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style

Its funny, but I had no sense of living without aim

I must have read a while

4/11/2009 28


4/11/2009 29

And turning out the lightI must have yawned and cuddled up for

yet another night

4/11/2009 30

And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain

4/11/2009 31
