Artifact, Object, Doodad, Dingus

Freeverse

I wish to possess an artifact, or possibly an object. There are spaces in this poem, gaps in this thing, these lines. So do we not need an item, or some kind of body? How about an article? If there are spaces, gaps, holes, we do require something to fill those spaces, those gaps, those holes. So why do we remember all those things, stuff from our past and wish to possess? It will happen to me; hasn't hit me yet, but, oh dear, it will, it will.

As I get older I know there will be gaps...artifacts from the past need to turn concrete...if I see them, can touch them, maybe I will be able to recollect what is in those blank spaces...

Or maybe I should just single space all of my poems.
Like this write a lot.

How fresh and fun like, those words settle on the page. I very much enjoyed the visit. Thank you Andrew John. Plenty of time for the past. Concentrate on the now and live it.
