Pockets


Emptying out my pockets today.  Considering what must be kept, what I can file away for the time being.  Still don*t know what needs to be trashed.

I like clothes
With enough pockets
For everything.
There must always be a place
To stuff the keys
The cell phone.
I avail myself
Of pockets of information,
Ways to use it,
File it,
Even determine
These are not my pockets
Right now
Anyway.
They are not deep enough
Not useful enough.
They do not add a thing
To the clothesline
Of letters
Which already follow
My name.
I collect information
In pockets.
Sometimes the pockets
Must be cleared
Lined up on the counter
The insides hung out
To dry.
