landyard model 2

The other day I was ricocheting slowly off the junk piles in the hundred corners of this house waiting to be packed

moving like in a room of mirrors, from book pile to toy pile to junkyard of medals, to stacked high paper pile coloured pens pencils markers massage balls binoculars, letters in assorted unsorted boxes 

until utterly distorted I found myself in Maycomb Alabama hugging Dill when he says his parents don't need him and hugging Scout when she says Atticus couldn't get by a day without her 

hoping in the pile of things that is home now my kids feel more scoutish than dillish and  continue to do so in our new nest where every object will have its place and return there unbidden when not needed 

so it can always be found
