I never did like going to garage sales; they're so personal. At least on eBay you don't have to look eye-to-eye buying their treasure/junk. I think "Incessantly" should be dropped/replaced to make a strong poem stronger. The last stanza is my favorite with its stimulating word choices. Very good poem, thank you.
First stanza is really good. The poem needs to be tightened up -- try cutting a few words here and there.
really convey that sense one gets at garage sales of someone's life scattered for everyone to pick and poke through. I agree with the comment that this could be tightened up a bit, and I think it should be "rifle," not "rifled" to keep the present tense consistent. Great subject though and well presented.
Strong feeling of life's end, of desolation, and of the unimportance of the material.
