I had the same reaction as Michael Cantor, i.e., the last two lines sound like they were added on to sonnetize the poem.
I also think the similarities to Poe, Eliot and Frost actually work against any sense of originality one might accord to the poem.
I also take issue with "late for appointment". I always want to hear "an", "the", "his", "her", etc.
I would prefer "sometimes come" over "come sometimes".
The Nothing Is In Store is clever.
Overall, enjoyed.
