economy

see a surge in

free wood after a storm

farm fresh chicken eggs

still five dollars

per dozen

out of the warm cooler

on the side

of a road

that

to get at

pull in to someone's

gravel driveway

and leave the engine running

leave the cash 

in a mason jar

the metal lid

cut and rusted

so once the money goes in

it doesn't come out

no making change

leave with four dozen

leftovers

a silver sedan

parked in the eco lot

near the airport

goes unnoticed

into the third week

passed planned

unchecked

keys packed in the luggage

unclaimed at security

with the name

of the recently 

deceased 

printed in barcode

on a sticky

white label

cranberry harvest

the sun beam doesn't glisten
off one particular spot

not locked by coordinates
it rides the waves down each gap

in the growth of the cranberry bog
as the harvesters flood it
