silly me
i’m
a pack rat.
i save
everything.
i must have
at least 250 pens
saved (just
in case…).
i’ve got
bits and pieces
of cable wire
and connectors.
curtain rods
from windows
in an old apartment.
dried flowers,
bricks,
bits of boards.
i’ve even got
tacked up
on the wall
right in front of me now
a veterinary appointment card
from a dog
that died
two years ago.
god, i loved that dog.
