library discarded

It's common practice to leave your unwanted items on the sidewalk in front of your stoop in Brooklyn. Particularly in neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Park Slope. I stopped to consider the books before me. A young man was loading a UHaul parked to the curb. He glanced over to me.

The stock list:


1- Idiot's Guide to Surviving Divorce.
1- Divorce Busting
1- Unexpected Legacy: Divorce
(Prescription 1)

1- Ten Years of Design Excellency: Italy
1- Tuscany on the Mind
(Trip to Italy, Elixir 2)

1- Girl, Interrupted.
1-Switch Bitch.
(...)
1- Empty Red Vase
(A last resort, a lost resort).

Fallen Autumn leaves mark the changing of the season.


You just can't make these things up.
