I’ve been bringing
little things from
my past
to my desk
each morning
and arranging them
just so.
Little things
I’ve designed
over the years.
A flaming six pack holder
with a charred handle.
A magazine for the blind,
just textures and dots.
Packaging for mouse software
that doubles as a mouse pad.
Awards for designs
in print,
in web,
in books.
I look at this collage
of my past
carefully arranged
before me.
And I return to
the present.
Turn on my computer
and face challenges
I mastered
15 years ago.
