everything I own
needs to fit into
3 boxes
this is not as absurd
as you may think
what do I really need
with all these window dressings
and modern mediums
do they really do much
other than retard the creative process
and magistrate the bills?

yes, three boxes
into storage
just the bag over my shoulder
and the one in my hand
are necessary
for the carnival over the hill
on the other side of the sea

this doesn't really have to do with you leaving in any capacity, does it? i interpreted it as to how people can aquire so many material possessions in their lifetime, yet not really need any of it. that is, no more than three boxes of it. a generalization for living simply. please share your thoughts on this.

that reply was a bit cretinous, yes darling, your observation is correct...though I wish I could go screw around in Brazil for awhile, throw my junk in storage, all 3 crtaes of it.....instead, I come see you and we lie under the waterfalls...that will work just as well...as long as you're feeling lusty...hohoho
