"garbage in, garbage out...sometimes you gotta clean out the mental closet"_ quote by poet junk in the attic of the mind, lingering on; gradually gathering dust. cumbersome junk of tossed aside woes piling up; steadily ballooning into a big pile of tainted white elephants that clog up my thought process. occasional practice of mindfulness is my way of clearing out the mental clutter.

Maybe we could remember things if we didn't have to sort through so many mental files (I wonder if they're recyclable) :) I enjoyed reading your poem. Congratulations on First!

Hello Edward, I get rid of stuff at least twice a year. I give the stuff that is still good to the Good Will. Knowing people can use these things. Blessings my friend.
