Yard Sale

a family exposed stories of old interests or tales of lives once lived turned into a system of money toys once played with clothes once worn books once read and decorations once used to fill the space in a once empty home how many people with stories of their own walk through and judge a person & their life all from what they've chosen to lay out in front of their home a girl stands by keeping watch and remembering what each item used to mean to herself and to her family and like dead grass in your front yard, that you just can't bear to look at a family makes a change for the better and decides that selling their old stories is the best way to make a few extra bucks to write new ones (i should stop staring at my neighbors)
