LEARNING(the ways of this world)

i take classes in garage sales
(avoid mortality of estate dispersals)-
seek that Grail of human stories
embodied in the release of material
(It is not the price that matters as much as the content)
Spin me good stories and i will buy you
(it is not the object-more its connotation/context
that reminds me where we came from and where we are )
If you value yourself too highly
it will not be a garage sale-more a supermarket
If you sell regularly,you bought reality
If you see me as a pigeon to be plucked
i will cook your goose for supper!
If you look or sound like wolf
i become little red riding in my hood
If you have humor,wit and resignation
i will become your mirror and your patron
buy every story you can release
take it home and give it freely
(we are all buying time-and money
can only buy so much..Time is free
but also an investment.I will listen to your version
Accept it.Temporary this gold fog key
Attuned to mornings and the break of egg day
The yolk is on us.I will egg you on
in this boiling sun-crack me up
and we will roll like ovals on the ground
Yard sales are surrealist circuses
Release all you are and own-and watch the clowns!
