Collecting


 
O nce I have
all I can get
I’ll still want more
and more

and yet

the stuff I have
I must ignore
to have the time
to find some more

to stash
what it is I got
so there’ll be nothing
I have not

and when I have
all that there is
I’ll sit back
and say

gee wiz

I’m not certain
this is all
there is

limited space
no way
no way
I can fit more in
today

I may be nuts
or maybe not
but gotta have more
than what I got

I’m on the verge
of losing it
but I believe
more will fit

we’re near full
for sure
for sure
but I can still
fit a bit more

I can always
fit a bit more

though what I have
is gathering dust
and some perhaps
is gathering rust
though the walls
are ‘bout to bust
I’ll stuff in more
because
I must

I simply
must
