MY RUMMAGE SALE

MY RUMMAGE SALE

A Poem by Glen Fitch

 

                        
 
                Step up and check 'em out. 
                Oh don't be shy.
        You like disaster? horror? 
                Got this from a plane seat neighbor. 
        Stock tips from a guy at work. 
        Dumb humor? 
        Travel tales of Spain?
                From waiting rooms here's 
        cures for troubled minds.
                Take one, take all! 
        A one-date song of woe of jilted love. 
                While trapped in check out lines
        here's stacks of seedy star dirt. 
                All must go. 
        Old books you toss 
                or sell or give away.
        A book you pick and choose to read 
                or not.
        But stories, lore and rumor 
                find their way into my brain 
                        to clutter, rattle, rot.  
        Please help me clear my mind 
                to think or sleep
        There's really nothing here 
                I want to keep.

Heh. Treating a rather severe affliction with commendable levity. If only we we could forget easily.
