"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Gather the following:
1 final inspection
1 certificate of occupancy
1 set bank paperwork
2 each subcontractors, sound system and appliance repair
Add in, slowly,
56 boxes (and counting)
various flavors of thrift store furniture
one million pieces of unsorted paper
new linens and furniture, gradually
Prepare by,
cleaning windows with solvent
scraping off drywall mud
painting and finishing trim
mopping, sweeping and mopping again
Add heat in the form of:
fever, one serious cold
pressure, two jobs
Stir well. Let sit.
After an indeterminate time, you will have one new home.
