265 - I've just found out I should be moving soon

I’ve just found out I should be moving soon
From this flat in Salford back to Wilmslow.
The buyer’s told me the 15th of June
Is the exchange date; that’s when I should go.
I’m leaving all the furniture, you know;
That should make my move easier by far.
The clothes I never wear, I think I’ll throw,
And just take whatever fits in my car.
I’ve no place to go that’s particular,
It seems: I’ve had eighteen addresses, strewn
All around Manchester, and long ago,
In Birmingham and Lichfield, and, one year,
On Long Island, New York … but not the moon.
I’d get sick of the cheese, so I’ll say no.
