so easy to access,
and then so hard to close
recepticle for things you say you need
the things you say you’ll use one day
and things you can’t throw away
Notepad’s and pencils that have been well chewed
share space with computer drives that’s been acrued
manuals for tech that lives round the house
together with cameras (and occasional mouse)
A couple of shavers long seen light of day
A Tape recorder longing to hear summat play
while resting on papers also kept there in
Documents for stuff – you’ve long shown the bin
but under the manuals – memories galore
those nik-naks you’ve kept from weddings and more
kept under the papers you can’t throw away
pictures and postcards of a happier day
