of being my own pound-stretcher
by attending car boot sales,
half that time in the present unending recession,
I ask myself why do these events continue?
In the best times people smiled as new goods
passed through these events with ease,
proving to customers that life was about choice,
and it was vibrant.
Now decline marks these events,
what once exchanged between buyers
and sellers with a smile and a comment
now exists more as an attempt to offload
the depreciating contents
from debt ridden households,
for a sum that is more than a song.
Now the only reliable profits for these events
come from the fuel sales that get customers
and the stall holders to and from the event.
