The dumpster arrived recently
just in time for some overdue spring cleaning
And I could not help but imagine
how lovely
all of this stuff and extra things
would appear inside
collected one final time
to be fully recorded and
processed
so I could see them for what they truly are
and they can finally be
rid of me
On top of the spongebob shower curtain from the basement
I laid down all expectation
For the hearts and minds of others
For nobody can appreciate a nature so personal
For what it truly means
Not I or anybody else
It is rid of me
David helped to carve out space
To place my unused galleries of thought
For they are only vapor clutter
if not fully pruned to serve a purpose
Let us forever end the collection of extra pieces
For the sake of making something appear complete
They should have become ash years ago
Rid them of me
Finally, the glorious day came
that day everything changed
I obtained a more complete view
Of the past behind me,
So I could venture on the path ahead
Yes, the dumpster has finally been
Hauled away
And only in its absence
Could I truly become me
