The Reliability Of Second Hand Hope

The older I get the more I prefer
to rummage in charity shops,
to find the thing with a limited life
that I believe that I can extend
which feels like it was meant for me.

I trust the charity shops more
than I trust the lotteries and lies
sold by governments, which promise,
but then defer, an instant transformation that never arrives.
