Yard Sale

I feel like

some yard sale

stripper

removing

memories

piece by piece

till the past

and my 

regrets

are gone

and all

I have

is a pile

of one dollar

bills

to tip

the bartender

as I down

another

shot

to clean up

this mess.

another fine example of it's not the quantity it's the quality.... and in saying that, what's wrong with a little mess? Messy in regards to strippers can be a good thing, right?

While I am far from a fan of concrete poetry, the manner in which this piece resembles a stripper's pole is a wry little touch. Add in the fact that the metaphor is so tight, and what's not to like?
