8 x 4 x 4
Everything I own will fit into a trailer that measures 8'x4'x4'. Dylan said 'when you got nothing, you got nothing to lose.' I think what he didn't mention is that when you have a little, it's much scarier to lose it than if you had all the treasures of the world. Everything I own has meaning. Everything I have serves a purpose in my life, nothing is extraneous. I've thrown out or sold anything non-utilitarian. While I'm sure I could live without certain things, it would be very sad to lose certain things, like the guitar a homeless man gave me for a loaf of bread when I was helping Suzy put her bike on my car, or the photo of my brother and I when we were 1 and 4 years old, respectively. So maybe the lyric should go 'when you have little, you have everything to lose.'
