THE MAN WHO FOUND THE BLUEBIRD OF HAPPINESS
His calling card
listed his name,
address, and occupation—
Sanitation Engineer.
No matter the weather,
it gave him great pleasure
to be riding around
on the tail end
of a garbage truck.
He developed a keen eye
for collectables
that he sold on Ebay
and in an ongoing
perpetual garage sale.
Objects that could not fit
in the garage filled his attic
and basement.
He was loved
by everyone in town,
who knew he could
always supply whatever
they needed.
He wore a smile
on his face as regularly
as the rising of the sun.
