sale | I didn't have my glasses on....

loved visiting the grandies

and their friends from the neighborhood

at their very own garage sale for kids.

they made signs

waved to cars

took turns being the dj in the garage

keeping the music going

and offering specials

(like the ‘wear two things on your head and get one free discount’)

every few minutes.

reminds me of me when i was a kid

though I usually ended up spending my profits

buying my friends’ stuff

and they often did the same with mine.

sometimes I even ended up

with more stuff than I had started with.

a pretty fun time for all

and some things are timeless.

I remember going with my mom

to a random garage sale as a kid and thinking

what a cool treasure hunt that the whole world was.

only to transition as an adult to think,

‘what a gross place that really is.’
