Garage Sale

The thing
about a garage sale
is that you layout the
worn down, too big, too small
nicked, unloved, neglected
and hope someone
will see what you saw
when you took it home

you hang up
too old, too young too thin,
faded, and unopened
and hope there’s crowds
there’s milling
just not too late, too early

you wonder if they’ll see
your value
in a five-minute financial transaction
