a trip to the pawn shop

as the stock
market
crumbles under the fear
that the blue
wave
will crush
the economy with free
everything
and policies
that will suck
the life out of capitalism,
i begin to look around
the house
for things to pawn.
mostly watches and rings,
old jewelry that
Betty
and Mary Lou left behind.
i sort through my
old record
collection.
the vinyl,
and box the ones i no
longer listen
to, like Jelly Roll
and born to run.
