The Whole Kit and Kaboodle

Unless it's an Indian gift from the karmic sky-gypsies
it’s not going to last.

Maybe you have lots of it,
but sooner or later
the 'told you so' pigmy bobble-heads of Mu
will make it known to you
that they are watching your every distracted move,
and their taking receipts
back to long abandoned thrift shops.

Amazon's plastic chop suey
will keep you spinning in circles like a drunk skunk.

The very wealthy flush it 2 times
just to clear their own much trapped crap.

Stuff is also for the downtrodden masses,
who renovate it to fit their cramped lifestyles.

In the end it’s all utter clutter
that digs the captive soul
deeper and deeper.

Best to gather together what no one wants
then wait,
until inevitably -
they do.
