Clutter

 

by wayne osborn

 

As our lives go on

we accumulate knowledge

and things

 

Throughout our journey

our possessions multiply

taking up space

 

Everywhere I look

something is there

 

Not just furniture…

 

What a pleasant surprise

it would be

to find an empty mailbox

 

A paperless society

Wouldn’t  that be nice?

 

Solving the problem

of clutter

 

Not really…

 

Just checked the email

too many listserves

one hundred twelve

new messages

 

More clutter

 

So many postcards

Too many tee-shirts

Way too many CD’s

All kinds of books

 

 Do I need a bigger desk

 a bigger house

a bigger hard drive?

 

I want less clutter…
