Moving Day

My load is irons
My sweat is rain
The summer air, a mass of chains
For all the change that it would make
I shift my burden with a grunt
And envy Sisyphus his ease of life
But hark, what light in yonder floorspace breaks?
The box is almost down; I am reborn in paradise
When suddenly the fateful, fatal call comes:
"We want it over here."
What eternity compares to these five steps?
