who's supposed to fill those empty spaces?
Bread crumbs, 
Old chewed-up gum,
stuck to the bottom of my chair,
I don't think that's fair.

    snippets of memories together.

    Your sticky fingers after eating all the strawberries instead of picking them,
    trimming your beloved rose bushes, one by one,
