[bodytext] => Less is more. I keep forgetting. In the midst of purging my internal clutter, I lose perspective. A sour smell takes hold ... like rotting. Spoiled trauma that I try to dress up in decadence. "It isn//'//t so bad." Then stop carrying it around. Spooling each filament of memory for storage in a decorative box. "Here is where I//'//ll keep you." Inevitably, you will make your visits unannounced and secretly unwelcome. A gift of charity, through pleasant smiles and the unspoken. I hope your day is short and you do not return. "Oh please, stay as long as you//'//d like, really it//'//s no trouble." Alas, it//'//s not always easy to entertain your own bag of parlor tricks. There is no nothing room. Let me sleep. Odessa19, PLEASE: To help keep this site INTERACTIVE, please read and comment on at least 3 poems by our other authors for each one you submit.
