Try something so simple as sitting in a different chair.
My sitting space
seems filled
with the contents
of my life.
It’s okay.
I can sit
where I used to sit,
before my sitting space
became a habit,
and, apparently,
its own habitat.
Sitting in
my previous space;
remembering
my previous life,
it reminds me
of the perspectives
I once beheld
before life
became so cluttered.
