Mnemonic Boxes

Grind on go for broke take it head on callus up every stroke forward claw crawl repeat

never try do as needed even when settled stored labeled away re-stacked boxes

clutter to add to universal rummage sales cosmic collections cherished mementos

craft to be resown collage welded with tacky to an old hat rack ponies appear

games of chance skill tested to create variations from remaining instructed items

silver gold leaf highlight upon dug-up frames to remount memories anew

all the kept brick-a-brac knick-knacks cuts of shag horns of stag trophies bought

earned ribbons cups to reminisce honorable mention moments along the way

to the bottom of that closet to the back of that attic where for some reason

we put those things that help us recollect use?
