Harbinger

By Phalanx

It looks like madness is the way I cut pieces to fit.
Loss management by digging through reyclables
To make work of the obsolete.
There's so much wasted in this world.
Reckognition of resources is a valuable asset in the worst of cases.
I often find myself throwing out junk that could be of some eventual use.
Reuse is a fine concept and then you have extra weight that slows you down with maybes.
Utilitarian is packing lite and using what you find along the way.
Carrying your future with you just makes you another hoarder
Trying to justify compulsion.
If you die with your birthday suit, best to carry what you can and not develop sentiment
That slows you down.
Your mind will mark what's truly important.
Keep your trinkets small enough that you can still run, because you will have to.
There are so many things out there that do not care about what you love.
Steal away your mind and keep it secret.
They kill anything that glows.
