NaPoWriMo Day Seven

Morality Play: Breathe

There are two ways to occupy a space.
Fill it up with as much stuff as possible
Or clean it up, empty it out, strip it down.
These are not mutually exclusive, and
Any sane person would do both, but
Framing the question raises some issues:

How much of your stuff adds to the quality of the space?
How much of the space is used up in containing your stuff?
And how much of the space do you actively inhabit?
Sweep the floor, wipe the counters, nest the bowls,
Open the windows, let the inside air out,
Invite the outside air in, pollen and all.
