ACCUMULATION

ACCUMULATION

.

.


When all our memory drawers are empty


Because we are brand new on this green Earth


It is easy to throw in all kinds of things


Until one day the drawer is so full of random items


That we can scarcely close or open it.


And we have no idea what-all is in there


We hope it's something useful, that we might need someday


But we strongly suspect that much of it is not useful


That it is essentially junk, or worse, dangerous, hazardous


These memories pop up at random times,


Which is a good moment to examine them


For valuable content


The useless, upsetting, unpleasant ones?


They can go into the great dump of useless stuff


Those memories can be tossed into the abyss


They are biodegradable and will fertilize the fields


Of the future where we grow new pleasant memories


To place in the main memory drawer we will use everyday.
