best buy in reverse

i load the car up
with old electronic 
junk.
you can't put things out
on the curb
anymore
for trash pick up
because,
Becky will be down your
throat if you do.
i carry out
to the car,
two dead microwaves,
a computer,
a monitor, and keyboard too,
a stereo, 
a printer, a toaster,
three flip phones,
a waffle maker,
an air fryer
and an old television
that weighs at
least two hundred
pounds.
then i google the junkyard
for a map
and their schedule.
it's Friday at ten a.m.
so
the narrow window is open
if i hurry
and get there soon.
