She asks how I am

And so how am I

My days are the usual days

I wake up I go out

Time goes by

My days are exactly the days

I have lived since arriving here

In fact how I am is amazed

how this comforts me year by year

I work and I eat

Life is muffins and jam

The house is nice and quiet now

That is how I am

Five years in these rooms

Reading Hagel and Kant

My mind is devoted to thoughts

On the meaning of life

What more could I want

So why is it lately I find

I'm uneasy all through the night

And why even now

does my skin feel explosive as dynamite

Why does my heart pound like a battering ram

How can she ask me how I am

How I am is fine

Dear Miss March

there is nothing dramatic or new to report

This will be short

Morning and evening I live in my usual way

On the day you return you will see for yourself

Tell me Miss March are you happy so far from

the clang and the beat of our turbulent street

Quite often I think or our days in New York

Though of course since you went

I have been quite content

Ah

I wake in the morning and all that

I hear is the absence of sound

Yes

My peace is disturbed

but the ruckus is me as my thoughts run aground

I wanted a life by myself in these rooms

and now all around me another life blooms

Who asked her to come

and to go and to leave me like that

And now she expects me to send her a note

with words if I spoke would stick in my throat

Who asked her to change

how I live how I think how I am

She asks how I am

How can I reply

I go through my daily routine

I give lessons I wait

Time goes by

Yet lately I find there is pleasure

in humming a silly tune

Some days I go to the park

and I sit there all afternoon

Some evenings I swear

I can hear a door slam

The house is far too quiet now

That is how I am
