The House Infinite

You always have too many until you have too few, know what I mean? Too many boxes to look through. I've been here a week and most of my things are still in boxes. Books always come out first, they're the heaviest and thus most difficult to shift with a foot when you need a little floorspace, plus they look good on the shelves if you have decent bookends which are somewhere in one of these other boxes, maybe the ones filled with incomplete decks of cards, bits of driftwood and seaglass collections in dutch cookie tins.
