JuNK YaRd


Truck factories build trucks
After they are built they need to put them somewhere
So there is this great big lot 
Behind the truck factory
Hundreds of trucks lined up 
Waiting

Rows and Rows of trucks
Mostly white

My dad says the rows of new trucks
is a litmus test of how well the business is doing

But what about the garbage?


Everyone has garbage

The juxtaposition of the clean white new trucks
Directly across the street
A junk yard
The Ghosts
The skeletons
A Llama?  That's cool. 

Kinda like life
The shiny new stuff is fun to show off
The house
The cars
The Diplomas
The job
The clothes
The talents
The vacations
The toys

But we all have a junk yard
with ghosts & skeletons
It's part of our history
It's part of who we are
Not very pretty
Kinda hard to look at
We don't show it to everyone
But there's some interesting stuff in there

Don't judge the junk yard
It's part of the journey

Just be careful what you put in there.
