saving things

i'm saving
string, and rubber bands.
pennies
in a bowl.
old photos and keys.
why throw out
a perfectly good paperclip
or ribbon,
scraps of paper,
or bows.
i'm putting old
phones
into a box
with watches I
never wear, socks
that need
darning,
ticket stubs from
movies
or games that remind
I was there.
i'm saving
all the things I
don't need or use
anymore
and yet strangely
feel attached too,
like you,
it's almost
like I still care.
