Book Titles for a Hoarder
Why Less is More; or,
Do You Really Need It All; or,
Keep Only That Which is
Sacred; perhaps, I Had
Everything and Nothing:
A Memoir. Maybe it's,
Where Are My Keys! Or,
In This Mess We Will Make
Merry; or, Give Your
All Away and See What's Left.
I don't know. I Lived In It,
Then I Got Rid of It? No, not
that. I Don't Just Hoard Emotions.
Bleh. Maybe it's all of them, one
by one, old books stacked in the
corner of an empty room. This
One Can Stay.
