January 26, 2012 (I was 67)
After a period of time people become afraid
to open storage units they
pay for
month after month for years
beyond the worth of
anything inside
The loss in value to our
past
may be the root of that
fear
To open to nothing worth
keeping
is too great a recognition
of failure
not in what we did or what
we collected
but in recognition there
was a time
we should have thrown it
all out and started over
Now it still needs to be
done years later
Month after month we pay to
keep that door shut
