no more room at the inn

i get rid of the guest room.
taking the bed out,
the dresser and any other piece of
furniture that might give
someone the impression that they
can spend the night.
if it comes to that. my bed is fine,
for two.
just two, three would be a crowd.
i unpaint the pink wall 
which the former tenant insisted
upon. i take down the girly
pictures, the posters with memes,
like. be strong. today's the first
day of the rest of your life,
and a picture of a woman making
a heart with her hand
while standing in front of a setting sun
on the beach. really.
i put another desk in there
an office chair. a file cabinet
and a white leather love seat  for
business meetings.
a clock goes up. a calendar.
a computer goes onto the desk,
a printer beside it.
pens and paper clips go in 
the drawers, stamps. envelopes.
typing paper.
