the notes i scribbled after each walk in the parks
sometimes in a code that even i could not decipher
the artifacts i gathered as i walked the parks
most dried out to the point where i could not recognize them
—
i threw all of the the notes and artifacts into a big shoe box
in one heaping pile
things fell out and fell in
i found a purple feather and holiday glitter in the mix
clearly a very complex and organized system.

And I thought I was the only one – writing notes to remind me to read my notes. Leaving the room and then having to go back and start over again to find out why I was leaving in the first place. Life can be interesting. Cheers Vinginia
