Two small boxes

(Her own mother, she said, had been an inspiration: she died at 101 with only two small boxes to her name. “She gave away things for years,” Lydia said. “You have to stop accumulating, and start clearing out early.”)

This really struck me as soon as I read it. It reminds me of Boltanski.

Whose Law?

I just got my mind rocked

about the real culture gap

and how we dropped the ball

rather, tossed it aside

gave it up

somewhere along the way

when State becomes salvation

when the dots don't connect

but instead grow larger and larger

into giant potholes

with no safety nets

and people fall and are diminished

to meaninglessness.

New Title

Hastily made.

Will fix. Work in Progress.

I hope you get the point
