Free Stuff
Sarah Endo's most recent appearance (Match) was as part of Contributor Series 4: Aspects of the Elephant. Her conversation poem today is part guilty pleasure, part amusing anecdote, part maternal escape in a way that's familiar to many mothers of young children.

I love checking out
the free stuff
on craigslist
There's always something
that tickles
or tempts me
makes me smile
with its honesty
and optimism:
free shabby furniture
Free Wooden Hut
Free used cooking oil!
Not 1, Not 2, But 3 Free Monitors!
Canon Camera Battery Charger—doesn't work
Maybe the free stuff isn't
perfect, but
with a little
vision or TLC
it might be

Fun! I had to do some advertising for my mother-in-law this past year. You nailed it.

Thank you so much! There is some really good free stuff on craigslist. I think the funniest item I've heard of is one my friend told me about -- free chapsticks, lightly used.
