14 August 2001 - my house sold twice

Jay Scott : Daily Whale : archive : 2001 : 14 August 2001

My house sold twice and didn’t close.
It yet remains to find out
If Immortality unveil
Another list of problems to grind out.

I’m lucky like I can’t believe.
Here’s how I count the score:
Moving is all we know of hell,
And all we need helicopters for.

clue:

My life closed twice before its close—
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me.

So huge, so hopeless to conceive
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

— Emily Dickinson
