Amazing Rubbish

A walking gift

a treasure just left

reverence suspended

your trash, my theft

corsets of not

a Holy Smoly find

1882 a book

with an envisioning design

the question I ask

is how it is thrown

every magic it finds

in its sleeves well known

an artist of time past

a treasuring of words

no I cannot believe

just tossed in the trash,Absurd!

Nathaniel Parker Willis

a writer of frame and mind

now my soul will savior

the poetry he left behind

I am glad I pick trash

look what gifts I find

so many amazing things

a history treasure so divine

this is amazing in its honesty and the message it sends. i used to have a roomie in southeastern Va...who used to go dumpster diving and go through people's trash piles on the streets and he would come home with the most amazing finds. some of the stuff was just priceless and wonderful and often we could make money by selling these finds at flea markets or carrying scrap metal to the junkyard. it is indeed true, that old saying "one man's junk is another man's treasure"!

This is so cool. One of the things I miss the most about living in the northeast was the ability to find so much good tsuff in the trash. Very cool Holly.
