Trash to Treasure sale Sunday, June 16th
Note; This is an annual event where the leavings o
College students are sold. Sunday is $5 a bag day.
Standing in line with Aaron Fine
was here last year near same time
still my mother’s depression era son she’d say
always prepare for a bankrupt day
My father never said collect collect collect
but his legends did in a way direct
In July of 38 he bought Action Comics #1
the first Superman. he was the middle son
The one to go to service, the others I don’t know
one died young the other well… time flows
when dad returned for his hidden cache
his mom was cleaning had thrown all away
Today bought CD’s blank & poetry & songs
office filing things how could this be wrong
In the basement mags called Mad and True
with which I’m still not sure what to do
Did not buy records clothes or books
or other items that others took
I needed nothing which is to say
needing nothing I bought some of it today
