there’s nothing as romantic as
finding things you’d thought you’d forgotten,
like storybooks with your preschool scrawlings
or pressed flowers and bad
teenaged poetry i could start a library
with all these love letters
and scraps of lil-ac,
it’s the things you’d really lost that you’d left for so long
that when you find, make you feel bad
because you never missed them,
like tshirts and photographs,
apathy towards the inanimate
is easy like
finding
things.
