MEANING OF MEMORABILIA
I have much of too much
must try to charter a freighter
to sweep load
all the deadweight
in all the time I have left
hidden in cacti pots
rice
and kernel corn
which to carry
collections obvious
and collectibles
invisible and indivisible
stamps,
minted metal
printed paper
a fountain of pens
thoughts thought and kept
poems posted and disbursed
schooled lines with loves and lives
illustrated people and parchment
porcelain stronger than metal
pictures of fairy lands when fairies lived
animals when they ran and crawled and purred
streets for walking and stumbling
pathways for choosing
metaphors almost always metamorphosed
times wished
times wished for all
and everyone
without history
or antiquity
always ever
and ever always
