dig out

order does not come naturally to me
i have to make myself organize
force myself to pick up and put away

piles are easier than order

yet eventually cause stress
as things are lost or forgotten

lies are easier than truth

though piles of lies eventually cause stress

"where's the truth in all this mess,
where'd i put that memory,
did it actually happen?
maybe not.
i might have dreamt it.
or imagined..."

handmedown piles of lies are harder to organize
seem impossible to sort out
make sense of

but just like the piles of stuff
the layers can be peeled back
sorted through
toss the junk
eventually the truth will turn up.

  1. HOW DO YOU DO... TRUTH

    True lies

    You thought Arnie n your Mum were shysters, c’mon he is. There’s these people, old women who circumnavigate the globe with the sole intention of propergating twoddle. They’re mystical you see, because no one ever remembers seeing or speaking to these “old wives” although we always remember their tales. Some tales are inside you now:

    Goldfish have a memory of only three seconds
    More like a few months, but what the frig do they have to remember.

    Lemmings engage in suicidal dives off cliffs when migrating.
    A lie made by Old Disney Wives.

    Thomas Crapper did not invent the flush toilet, Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb, and Henry Ford did not invent the automobile.
    Nope, all me.
