porcelain and plastic

is it collecting
or
hoarding?  one blends into
the other.
things.
sentimental
things.
porcelain or plastic.
makes no difference.
bought, or found,
gifts.
they line the shelves
now.
the staircase,
beneath the beds,
closets stuffed
with old clothes.
a perpetual storm
of lost and found.
nothing can be thrown
away,
for then what?
