Taking Stock

TAKING STOCK “STOCK” – the bits and pieces of accumulated this and that – with tags! Strings of memories, and far off debt, and a sea of medicinal prescriptions rustling In a cobweb bound table draw which needs as I do, a repair, “STOCK” then glancing across Boxed books and movable immovable objects piano, Dresser, TVs, and three different pale green painted splashes of a future make over or fast fix. Toffee -less tins stacked and not open, and only thoughts of toffees in them, and photos taken long ago, I think! Dog eared edges caught under the lid, - then impatience digging out the bank Statements, lots of cash for a rainy day, there have been many floods, and the cash is still here. Cars and sheds and kids, and dogs, and clocks unwound, AND laptops, alone in sealed boxes. And all this Stock for a bonfire down at the crem! And - relatives.
