Idioma Origen:
I must have left my house at eight
because I always do
my train, I´m certain
left the station just when it was due
I must have read the morning paper
going into town
and having gotten through the editorial
no doubt I must have frowned
I must have made my desk
around a quarter after nine
with letters to be read
and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have gone to lunch
at half past twelve or so
the usual place, the usual bunch
and still on top of this
I´m pretty sure it must have rained
the day before you came
I must have lit my seventh
cigarette at half past two
and at the time I never
even noticed I was blue
I must have kept on dragging
through the business of the day
without really knowing anything
I hid a part of me away
at five I must have left
there´s no exception to the rule
a matter of routine
I´ve done it ever since I finished school
the train back home again
undoubtedly I must have
read the evening paper then
oh yes, I´m sure my life was
well within its usual frame
the day before you came
I must have opened my front door
at eight o´clock or so
and stopped along the way
to buy some Chinese food to go
I´m sure I had my dinner
watching something on TV
there´s not, I think, a single
episode of Dallas that I didn´t see
I must have gone to bed
around a quarter after ten
I need a lot of sleep and so
I like to be in bed by then
I must have read a while
the latest one by Marilyn French
or something in that style
it´s funny, but I had no sense
of living without aim
the day before you came
And turning out the light
I must have yawned and
cuddled up for yet another night
and rattling on the roof
I must have heard the sound of rain
the day before you came
