old records…
books on shelves never read…
pocket watches…
things…just items ’round a house where you lived…

a moving picture camera…
wood carved name plates…
adding machine…
tape recorders used for secret missions…

6 clocks…
brass lamps…
wooden desks you made in your shop…
where is their next home…

this old dog-piss covered couch…
Amish quilts…
straight-blade razor…
i never said goodbye…

paintings of farm houses…
padded folding chairs…the fancy kind…
card table…never stable…
Thanksgivings…birthday parties…a deck of cards in the top drawer…

gold trophies…
pictures of kids in football uniforms…
an old baton…a trombone…
wanderings…of what might have been…

what might have been…
