About my Bag

Picture taken by the author.

My bag’s maroon
I bought it in a maze
of thrift shop-frenzy-haze.

The leather is tanned
it seems weather-beaten
like its owner’s thoughts
crammed to the top
full of stuff and belongings
an emerald wallet,
always empty,
but the card.

Grocery store bills
crumpled up, never thrown out
my two favorite lipsticks
pen and paper
in case a lyric fits
whatever scenario.

Me and my bag
will find ourselves in
my keys,
a dismantled biro
guess,
I’m no clean freak hero.
