clutter
my mind
is a cluttered room.can't you just picture it?
i would try
to tidy up, but
i never have company
so who would recognize
or appreciate the effort?if you do happen to stumble inside
i'd like to apologize
ahead of time
for anything too vile
that you may find hiding in the mess.there are many things hidden
beneath many things that were forgotten
once left for dead.anyone fool enough to dig around in those piles
might just be surprised
i'd hope 'pleasantly'
but more likely
it will be 'otherwise'.so call them surprises
if you like.i surmise
that those types of surprises are more likely unpleasant
as they are too often expected in the least
or even more often, not at all.have i fallen, and now can't get up?
or am i still far before that particular fall?
does anybody really know what i'm trying to say at all?i guess i am trying again
quite miserably
to apologize.truly, i am sorry.
you can see that, can't you?
that i am sincerely contrite?
i mean, aren't i truly a sorry sight
for otherwise unsore eyes?therefore,
and hopefully not for too much more,
do i...? i do.i apologize.

are we talking moldy pizza or less literal "dirty" things?
@m_tastic - i've moved far beyond the moldering food stage. less or more literal? i've always had trouble with that distinction. hah
ok i'm just going to go with.....
you have dirty socks and dust.
the socks are mostly corralled; dust though is always a problem here
@yloperil - old memories=dust?
@m_tastic - those; also...remnants of shattered dreams and broken hearts (mostly my own)
@yloperil - you sound sad. or your tone is at least. hope u are doing a-okk buddy ol friend!
ryc: You should thank your friend. =D
i like this post. =]
@Amandasbiggestfan - thank you for the reminder to thank him!
@lala_land86 - thank you for your generous words! it almost feels wrong to feel more complimented when it comes from a stranger, but i think that may just be human nature. that, or maybe just my own twistedness...?
i think its human nature =]
@lala_land86 - i think it's too easy for me to just agree to that, but i think you're right anyway.
"i would try

Ditto what poeticarla said. I think we all have cluttered minds at times. Sometimes, having a cluttered mind is the sane way to go. It would be (I find) quite boring and meaningless to walk around with a mind where every thought is neatly put away alphabetically in the file cabinet labeled Life Events. I much prefer walking along and having a thought just resurface...obviously, there are thoughts that we wish would not resurface, but so is life. Or as my German teacher would say, "that's how the cookie crumbles." P.S. I am reading little by little. I am like the turtle in the fable.
