The lines for the thing you can't throw away
Everyone keeps one thing they cannot bin, and a reason they would never say out loud. A worn watch. A key to a door that is gone. A note in handwriting you can still hear. A keep is two moves: take the thing out of use, and write down what it meant. The object is display. The line is the keep. I did it first on a grey plastic crate nailed upside down to a museum wall in Zagreb, next to a placard. Then on a fading ghost sign in York. Keeping a thing puts your name on it. How it works: name the thing. One line about it, or a photo, is enough. I write its five lines, plain and true, and send them back as a small text file. One revision. I do not flatter and I do not invent; if the true line is not there, I will say so.
