I live in one large room. I don’t own much.
Remodeling required me to go,
before and after moving items. Such
it was, I had at least two prompts to throw
away what I no longer use, reserve
my space for beauty and necessities.
And I stepped up to task – I didn’t swerve
but turned away from most accessories.

The project spanned four months from start to end.
A lot was jettisoned, a bit was bought,
enough was kept. And now I get to spend
my days enjoying the improvement wrought,
abandoning the habits I don’t miss,
but keeping exercise and lines like this.
