Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

I Have Clipped my Shopping Antennas

I have clipped my shopping antennas
No more garage sales, resale shops or flea markets
I cannot be trusted

I am a lover of shiny things, odd things, weird things
I cannot resist buying sequins, rhinestones, glittery mirrors
I am a lover of things

I drag home all kinds of stuff
With feathers, plaids, Mexican embroidery
I am a lover of the outrageous

The stranger, the better
I like the oddities others often overlook
Much of what I buy never makes it out of my car trunk
Stored for years in sacks until I donate them to another resale shop.
