yard sale

yard sale

 

they didn’t have much

a few piles

no tables

just kind of laying there

 

it was saturday

mid afternoon

the ideal time to make money by selling unwanted belongings

 

used clothes

few cd players

baby toys

and others

 

but no one was there

except for a kid

standing on the curb

 

he was holding a sign

computer paper

handwriting was too nice to be his

probably his mother

asking him to stand out there while she stayed inside

 

it was ninety two degrees under the sun

 

the writing was too small

couldn’t make out the details as i drove by

but i wanted to tell him

son

you’re gonna need a bigger sign
