closing up shop

childless
and unmarried, siblings
all in
the wind,
friends in the ground,
or dispersed
to some foreign land,
i look
for someone
or something to leave
all the dough
to. a worthy charity, perhaps.
everything must go,
because
the business of living
has ended,
the store is closed.
the house,
the savings, the 401k,
the cars,
the clothes and books.
the coin collection
and shoes.
drop me a line if you
need a buck or two,
between the hours
of 9 am
and two i'll be holding
interviews.

You are going to be inundated now with requests from old friends and that pesky Ohio editor. Hahaha
