WUFFI!

five days in and the door shuts.

carrying the drawer back up, plus the tape, plus two shelves that came off on the way.

someone said it is world kindness day. i have been kind to this house all week.
the house will come around.

the door is nearly done. the drawer is on the floor.

whatever was at the back of that drawer is also on the floor and i do not recognise it.

i am carrying the whole hallway into the kitchen, sideways, chin on the top of the pile.

the door needs tape. the tape needs the good scissors.

the good scissors are at the back of the top drawer.

i am on a chair with my arm in the drawer up to the shoulder and the drawer is coming out with me.

the door is still open.

the draft is a project now.

there is a towel stuffed in the door and i am the one holding it in.
every time i let go the hallway arrives.

he has gone to get a bigger towel.

there is a draft under the front door. small job.

pulled the old strip off to measure it.

the draft is now the entire door.
i am holding the strip and the tape measure and neither is helping.
