Bad dreams
Cookie wakes me at 4AM
for cuddle time

On Kondo-ing
Do I really need these tomes of artist's works?
the screens arranged around my day time chair?
(one to show me famous art, one that lurks
beneath the two PC monitors there
and two to show me views from cams outside)
And what of all these books to show me skills
to best defend myself if I can't run and hide
to be a victim not in these dark times of ills.
Or do I need the boxes of pastels, paints and pen
which clog up half the room before I start
or should I now give up my work and then
begin to be disposing of my art?
And all the clothes I do not need
And all the kitchen goods to feed?
