Curio

We like to browse
Between the cups & saucers
Through the albums and art
Of each neat, tidy booth
And unkempt vendor stall
That hold the strange histories
Of people we never knew,
Subtle hints and glimpses
Of lives lost and found
Among an ever-changing landscape
Of the mundane artifacts
That cycle through the precious hands
Of both buyers and sellers
Trading the past for presence.
