She always finds treasure in the trash,
in the back of vintage stores,
and the racks of charities.
It’s exclusive.
Don’t tell anyone,
the lace was wrought of dying worms.
The rocks she holds
are not gemstones.
Four bucks.
She grows tired seeking out what makes her high
Low, low growth
seen in her company’s stocks
She finds treasure but stays hush
It’ll only collect dust.
A girl in her prime
becomes forgotten by the clock.
