This Is The Shit On My Desk
5 poetry books, unread
wallet, iPhone
stag horn, plastic
wood and steel.
Notebooks and calendars
piles of receipts and notes
yellow heavy duty tape measure
25 foot, steel blade.
Land line phone
eyeglasses case, black, hard shell.
Pencils and pens sticking out
like porcupine quills from a pottery jar.
Treasure box, speakers
books, lamp and miniature steer skull
3 Baobab seeds from Senegal
and much, much more.

The question is…does the landline phone work?

I love how the list gets more personalized and speaks of not just the average person, but a specific ones. I’m really intrigued by the seeds. ❤

Thank you! My son brought them back from Senegal. I don’t think they will grow in this climate. Baobabs can live hundreds of years in the driest of conditions. I keep them there to remind me of persistence.
