Perfect observation. I’ve never thought of it, but my dresser top is something of a dusty museum!
Carl D'Agostino

Mine does get some straitnin every coupla months.

Beautifully written!

Valued statement coming from a gifted writer as you. Thank you.

Thy will be done. Not touching this one. With all that dust, you might be able to grow some potato. Have a good Friday. Mr. Carl.

Ah the sacred ‘Man Alter’ is finally given its proper due!

I knew you’d relate. There’s a horseshoe souvenir from the Florida Derby somewhere in all the junk too.

My top drawer has things from 30 years and beyond in it. I had to move my socks from that one to the one below to make room. My wife has termed it my “Junk Drawer”.

Poetic renouncing and declaration. I commend your style an ability. The quiet and congenial contrarian struts his ‘shtufffs’. I like this for all the right and wrong reasons. A tip of the hat.
Carl D'Agostino

Delighted it is well received. I must search the files to post some more.

Great poem, Carl. You must have taken the picture after she-who-is-about-to-become-ghost-material defied your orders and prompted the rhyme. Fun.

I was gone for a mere weekend and my entire microcosm fell into upheaval.

We all must have our Sanctum, Sanctorum.. Or in more common parlance… You toucha this, I breaka you face.. Capice?

Ya GIVE orders to your crew but apparently TAKE orders at home.

Have you thought about therapy at all Carl? hahaha
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 17:22
I tried that several times. It is the mental health care providers that are nuts nor could they survive in my private self manufactured universe.

I completely agree with you my friend. I actually wrote alittle something about that in this post: http://alesiablogs.wordpress.com/2013/01/10/parental-guidance-a-film-review-sort-of/

I loved this poem
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 17:23
Well of course. It was written in 1985…

Mine stores random things that were in my pocket, and exercises I had written out for myself to do at the gym. – good poem!

It is comforting to know that I am not alone in my eccentricities.

Time to take down the Christmas tree too I spoze.

I think every man has what I call a “sacred space” that they don’t want messed with, cleaned, or in anyway rearranged.
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 22:54
As little as that space may be, a box, a corner of the garage , a shelf or two in the closet , all really so insignificant but just special to us,kids and wives just can’t seem to respect it. At what ever treasures are there they are treasures with meaning to their owner only.

Your unopened letter is an intriguing mystery …
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 23:01
1. A letter to that old girlfriend now married who you care to see with no adulterous intent ? Or to a person to whom you wish to make amends but does not care to hear ? 3. An application for that job you dearly want but know there is no chance ? 4. One last try to a publisher for your cartoons who you know will reject the proposal ?

I intended to write “unmailed letter.” I love the possibilities and choices offered.

Niiice – Like a journal of sorts!
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 23:02
An inventory of things important to no one but ourselves, I spoze.

I think you are writing about my husband’s dresser top.
Carl D'Agostino
February 1st, 2013 at 23:32
Well I am glad to see we are not alone. Must be one of those Jungian archetypes for men of all cultures and eras.

Love the detail of images. I really enjoy when you dabble in poetry. You have such a flair, Carl!
Carl D'Agostino
February 2nd, 2013 at 07:43
Thanks for encouragement. I have more things to rework. But visitors expect cartoons all the time.

We all need a shrine for our sacred tchotchkes …
Carl D'Agostino

My uncle had tchotchkes but had an operation and is doing much better now.

Your words are a perfect description of David’s nightstand, Carl. The twentieth of this month will be eighteen months that he is gone but everything is still as he left it.

Then it is a delightful and fitting altar to his memory. And yours too. Mother’s 89th birthday would have been on the 26th. Father and I cast some roses from the tiny wooden bridge over the tiny stream where I dispersed her ashes a while back.

Ah … even men have their own goodie drawers … although what’s in mine usually needs batteries and it’s now locked. You always make me smile
Carl D'Agostino
February 2nd, 2013 at 17:40
I think they have solar powered ones now but not much privacy at the beach. You made me smile.
Lafemmeroar

Solar? Well that should save me lots of money! Batteries are EXPENSIVE

I love dust! And the little good for nothing else things that say -someone lives here!
Carl D'Agostino
February 2nd, 2013 at 18:03
Yes, a little junk here and there makes things alive.

Very nicely said, Carl. It is another side of your talents I enjoy very much! You dresser surface is at least quite neat…a little dust never hurts!
