the convenient folding table that i unfolded

and put stuff on just for a moment so I could tidy up

became loaded with more and more stuff

as the moment stretched from minutes to months

..

it is like an archeological dig

of the one-person Sculptor Wannabe culture

prevalent in the mid 2020s

..

i am a clumsy, unorganized archeologist

i just don’t dig it

but the love of my life is coming to town

so dig i must

to clear the table

to fold the table

to vow

never to dig myself such an above-ground hole

ever, ever, EVER again
