9545. SO HAND-ME-DOWN WORN-OUT

SO HAND-ME-DOWN 
WORN-OUT
I went to the sage, I went to the morsel,
and the pepper and the slice. Here, where
they keep the secret recipes hid. There
were five old houses in a row  - suffering
each, leaning and pale and broken. No one
seemed to live in any. On the corner, blue
glass and a pizza store, trying.
-
A person can't return from nowhere 
without something. It would seem to me:
a hand-me-down, worn-out trinket, 
or something given, for free.
