Still Life of a Dresser
---
A dusty dresser stands,
A pushed aside ornament
Alone in a room.
Most Visitors
Glance at it but find
It as interesting as
A clutter of old toys.
It intrigues –
But is quickly forgotten,
Except by those few.
The few who see
The items scattered
Over the worn finish.
The items that hold
The visage of their owner.
The owner who loves
To buy knick-knacks
And trinkets
To remember fondly
The memories
Of places visited long ago.
Places far away
Where camels tread
And a mouse wears a wizard's hat.
Places where life was contained
In the few precious days
Days spent rock and shell collecti

More and more Universities, libraries and arts institutions have swung open their digital doors and granted access to their lectures, courses and curricula fr
