clutter, saved boxes, saved objects, might need it someday, packed away, rainy day, that it might come in handy, that it might have to be sent back, that's why the boxes pile up, that's why everything piles up, gathers dust, gathers weight and momentum, inertia in all things, and Newton was more right than ever, more right than he knew when he wrote, when he learned, inertia, objects in motion and at rest, stay in motion or at rest, immovable and prime mover, circle gets a square, but detritus, if that's a word, if it isn't i make it up, or steal it, life's castoff, trash caught in the wake of movement through life, eddies and swirls, tagging along, vortex forces, dragged behind, like baggage, too much like baggage, too much like ducks named kitten. |
