This poem is dated September 3, 2015 in my journal and is about the making of lists. I know, I know, it doesn't seem that exciting of a subject, does it? It's one of those things in my life that is helpful but sometimes I wonder if it is just a waste of time? Writing a list is easy enough but the hard part, for me, at least, is remembering I wrote the dang list or finding the list after I put it aside! Thank goodness for the "notes" app on the iphone because I can make lists there when there is no paper! I still tend towards the hand written lists and even though I've gotten better at putting them in places where they are easily found, some still fall into that void of doom where the single missing socks and earring backs disappear to...never to be seen again! Lists I make lists to try and remember where my mind has been, lists to remember where my mind is suppose to go, and lists to remember that I wrote a list!
