Peter has a yard sale limit.
Even so we went to seven Sunday
were able to see unpredictable
objects purchased a Roz Chast
compendium signed by Roz herself
in South Cairo New York
on route 67
a long dark green
candlestick holder, silver box
from a woman named Candy
who said she never eats any
never did even when she was young
tattooed man named Mike
fourth Mike I met this week
sold me a book by Pema Chodron
we are looking for everything
although we have everything too:
a person standing with her stuff
along the side of the road saying
maybe I have something here for you.

"You're still buying stuff?" A friend said to me recently. I love stuff and I will collect it until I die. Why not? I'm the anti-Marie Kondo.
