Then when you go through closets packing old things. Finding things you'd forgotten. There's a Hawaiian Red Dirt t-shirt, dunno know where it comes from, maybe from my friend after her first visit? Hieronymous Firebrain t-shirt. Cassettes that belong to ex-girlfriends.
You have to be careful because these kinds of items can catch you unguarded and leave you sad. Sadness over aging, sadness over friends who aren't close anymore, sadness for no kind of reason.
Maybe dust makes one depressed. That would explain a in this life.
