So it is better not to store things in my back  
and then move them to my brain because  
coming in the side entrance in the ambulance  
like that and not sticking around for pre-op,  
they never get a good room.  it takes me forever  
to sort through the back-log of information  
I bring in from that kind of field trip: 
 
shelf after shelf of geodes and crystal  
and lava and petrified trees,  
and rooms of walls of drawers  
of fossils I can't even think about  
because I haven't the time  
to give them identification numbers  
or label them or make a list.
