Backpack

These days I rarely carry a backpack.
Because I keep trying to cram things in.

Daily life doesn't seem much different.
The habit of wanting to cram things in —
it's not such a great habit.

The instinct to just stash it away,
the instinct to just stockpile it.

Maybe it's that instinct that makes
modern people live such worn-out lives.

I woke up from a dream where I was thinking all that,
and now I'm stashing this away on the blog again..
