the to-do lists to be done
strung out from pile to pile
set against blank walls
why bother hanging anything
soon enough i won't be here anymore
louder than expected this line echos and i wonder - is this what i have in mind? no sense to leave a trace, a trail? i am childless, without property, holder of no patents, sharing my name only in the middle degree with my niece and millions of others for that matter but what does it matter to leave anything behind? taking up space is only that. books unread and rhymes lost forever.

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.
