Off balance

Office day; dined at home, and all the afternoon at home to see my painters make an end of their work, which they did to-day to my content, and I am in great joy to see my house likely once again to be clean. At night to bed.

office all afternoon
a home to paint

I work on joy
like a lean bed


Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 5 October 1660.
