Wardrobe

I’m no
walk-in closet.
More of a wardrobe.
Limited space
for stuff inside —
keep to a regimen
of work, sleep,
occasional fun
and don’t hold on
to many souvenirs
unless they fit into
the small drawers
I occasionally weed
to make slots for new
items.  If I want larger
themes, I go outside
and feel no need to own
what I see. I’m not overfull
with passing fancy this way,
a thing I learned
through experience —
my walls
can’t take
too much weight
and a packed drawer
doesn’t open easily
when you’re in need
of what’s inside.
