Could never use those coupons up
before they expire
forget where I put them
How am I able to keep track
of all the things I could have saved?
Must have emptied more than
a million trash cans
in my lifetime
Hauling off heaps of my heart
in rusty shipping containers overseas
giving it away in suburbs
In megapixels of my youth--no one
has given me proof of its gold
its credit worthiness
Old Sunday circulars' clippings
crammed in crusty corners of my purse--
Maybe there's a purpose for buying
overpriced souvenirs
To come full-circle at your frugality
free & fraught with
old film reels
