house for sale

i put

the house up for sale.
pull up

the truck and unload
my belongings into it.

i stick a sign in the yard.
i go room

to room and pack
my life into boxes.

trash what isn't coming with
me.

especially the bad memories.
that brief aberration
in time.

i do it quietly. alone.
box by box

out the door.
when it's empty i stand

in the Livingroom
and say.

i guess that's that,
then

turn around and go.
