NaPoWriMo 2015: Day 26

#26: BETWEEN PACKING AND REPACKING FOR VIETNAM

The art of packing is the art of condensing.
It is as much about knowing what to put in
As what to leave out.
Essentials first – the bare bones of your life
(When did mine begin including multiple copies
Of music scores and Febreeze
Hair pins and safety pins
And a head full of conducting patterns?)
Everything else will just have to fit between.

What you discard says as much
As what you pack - maybe more
And in the discards, perhaps
Is the key to simplifying life.
