Camera, Umbrella and Tennis
Racket
Once upon a time
I owned some clothes,
and a tennis racket,
camera and umbrella I got
as graduation presents.
I spent the summer with my
sister,
met a guy, went back home,
dated long distance, got
married,
had kids, bought a house,
and collected stuff.
Now, my shelves are filled,
walls are covered,
little floor space shows
and now I’m tasked
to keep, give or throw.
Once, I lived without all
this stuff.
Why’s it hard to part with
now?
I have a new camera and
umbrella,
but still have the same tennis
racket,
and about everything I’ve
gotten since.
