Clutter!
\nby cricketjeff on July 13, 2010.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nClutter accumulates,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 piles of this and that;
\nUndisciplined thoughts
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 and unremembered hopes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 vie for space in depths
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I didn’t know I had.<\/p>\n
Half-finished schemes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 and half-started dreams
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 spin themselves into rhymes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 and new tomorrows.<\/p>\n
You are here,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 you are always here,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 around each corner
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 and under every pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n
Work and play jostle each other,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 get confused and merge together,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 friends pop in, pop up, pop out,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 smiles abound, and frowns and tears
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 try to stay out of sight.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0
\nI am here too,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 all the mes,
\nthere is the small and frightened me,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 lost on some long forgotten shopping trip.
\nThe proud new father
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 strutting his stuff.
\nThe lover, the friend, the chance encounter;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 we are all here,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 busy moving the furniture;
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 searching for all there is to find,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For all that’s on my mind.<\/p>\n
Author notes
\nA couple have people have asked if “mes” in the second line of the fifth stanza
\nis a typo for mess, it isn’t it’s the plural of “me” not a word that’s used
