Constructively: Making Room

More sorting,
More discarding;
Lately, this is how
I spend my time off,

Measured in
File cabinets cleaned out,
Papers disposed of,
Shelves and floor de-cluttered.

It’s like a major operation,
A mission,
To get this place
In shape;

But, for what?
Moving perhaps?
Or my next
Great adventure?

That will have to wait
Until it comes;
For like all my decisions
I never really know the consequences,

This de-possessioning venture
Being only the latest
In a series of results;
Or maybe,

Something will interrupt me,
Some new crisis perhaps?
And so, I still need my practice
To help prepare for that too,

But until then,
This is it,
Unless I find something
More productive to do;
Meanwhile, the sifting continues.
