Unearthed in the backyard, a Folger’s coffee tin containing:
One rusted bicycle bell,
A cracked New Kids on the Block cassette,
Two pink and yellow friendship bracelets,
Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers,
Folded lined-paper hearts and triangles,
A faded polaroid of two girls wearing neon,
hair in ponytails with scrunchies,
arms wrapped around each other,
smiling silver.
I love what you found! It is funny how we often think things will last, but they just break. Can’t help but wonder if this is your time capsule.
