The Mind Is Yelling No
The garage. The closet.
The middle bedroom.
They are all taking
My energy.
They have stolen my
Vitality.
I wonder
How it can be, that
A little clutter completely
Zaps my strength.
I need to pretend that
I have had a flood.
Box it all up and throw
It out. Maybe allow
Myself to keep one
Item per box.
Moving is so liberating,
And I have not moved
For a long time. I am
Ready to begin purging,
But then we have my
Body that is arguing
With my mind.
We are so tired, the body
Is arguing. Yes, my mind
Agrees, but let’s get started!
My body is overcome
With the stuff. Suddenly
Exhausted, she crawls in for
A nap, no help at all.
