This travel chess set is a recent junkstore find for a whole whopping 49 cents - it is perfect condition (except where they wrapped it in tape to keep it closed) with all pieces intact. In fact, as you can see it even includes the checker pieces. I am not sure how old it is but you can order a Chess instruction book for thirty cents.
An old poem I wrote and thought to share.
junkie
Tracks skid across her arm
and cobwebs grace her hair.
Her husband simply smiles;
shakes his head in despair.
She’s back from the junk store
with new treasure for her lair.
and for those who are interested a gallery of apple seeds I took today...

ReplyDeleteso I've read your prose...your poems...and looked at your photographs...and I've enjoyed all...
I expect I'll be dropping by :)
(and I love those apple seed photos...each shot makes the seeds seem as if they are not at all the same things from photograph to photograph...how extraordinary!)
