Day 3175, how many pictures do you want hanging on the wall?

Daily picture, Poetry
I sometimes wonder 
out loud
inside

are memories not better
then what is happening now

is life not best viewed in hindsight

is even the best experience not consumed
by the one just following
and following
lost in the moment
leftovers in memory

is the completion
the memory of the rush
cooled down
not better


can it not be remembered over and over
like a picture on the wall

but I was wondering
when is enough
enough

are 10 good memories not enough
or 50
a 100
a 1000
?


Day 3172, three times.

18 Narrow Souls
Narrow souls I cannot abide;
There’s almost no good or evil inside.


21 Against Airs
Those who inflate themselves are cursed
When pricked by a small pin to burst.


25 Request
The minds of others I know well;
But who I am. I cannot tell:

My eye is much too close to me,
I am not what I saw and see.
It would be quite a benefit
If only I could sometimes sit
Farther away; but my foes are
Too distant; close friends. still too far;
Between my friends and me, the middle
Would do. My wish? You guess my riddle.
