Paper Clips

I still make deposits at the bank sometimes
Deposit slip and check clipped together
After I hand the deposit to the teller
I put the paper clip back in my pocket
Thinking I'll need it another time and I'll have it
Truth is I forget I put it there almost immediately
Often the pants will get washed with the clip in my pocket
This could go on indefinitely
Till one day maybe a year later I discover the clip
Then if I'm home it goes back in the paper clip holder
If I'm out and about it goes back in my pocket
Truth of life
Life cycle
Life as a writer
One observation at a time

Author's Note
I prefer the jumbo paperclips but often use the smaller ones for deposit slips ...
