Five By Five Meme On A Friday

Since I have a lot of shirts I've bought in Mexico that I never wear again and a lot of white tee-shirts I buy to support whatever but never wear since I mainly only wear black (in mourning since the first Bush years, then it just got easy to do laundry) I consider myself tagged by Lee Herrick, an excellent poet, editor and critic.

3. Leftover NEA poetry apps I just can't bring myself to toss
4. Several velvet embroidered bags from Chiapas

Since there should be 5 by 5 Things, here's five things on my desk:

1. Chunk of amethyst crystal
2. Lightbulb (75 watt)
3. Roll of cellophane tape
4. Black Hawk "Chief of the Broadleafs" Indian head cigar box full of note paper
5. Maroon plastic 2-file holder desk tray holding mostly masses of colored sticky notes, unsorted, messages ranging from everything from scores on Bookworm ("master archivist") to Memphis Minnie Notes to very important phone numbers (yours?) to current postage rates.



Now, do you.
