On getting older your possessions
seem to act like magnets - books
attract books and late relations
clutter your boxroom and attic
with old furniture, kitchen utensils
and jigsaw puzzles still too good
to throw away, gathering dust
as the collection grows, on its way
to your own young successors.
Especially books are hard to get
rid of; the best ones find room
in the downstairs bookcase, the others
will sit in boxes to be browsed through
on summer afternoons ; there's always
something there. Likewise stray words
and scraps of conversation, together
with varied images and vivid,
not always accurate memories will make
their insistent way into the back
of your mind. They stay there, possibly
to be used for further reference.

DawnJabout 11 years ago...but I will never give up my books. I love the feel, the smell, the look of books. I could no more throw out my books than I could throw out the words that crowd my mind, searching for expression.
I like this one, my friend!

As she heaved my manga collection
in the dumpster, quickly followed
by her.
