KEY  WORKS

Instead of gathering dust in the basement

of my mind, why not take a week or two

to gather the key works of my life? Dust

them off. Gold paint a frame or two. Then

hang them on the walls of my upstairs

living rooms. If old enough, then announce

to myself: “This is me. This is my life. More.”
