My purse, my mom, myself

My purse, my mom, myself

A Poem by riverkeeper
"

Cleaning out my purse

"

My Purse, My Mom, Myself

 

 

My purse causes me pain

time to clean 

 

the flat head screwdriver used 

on mom's picture frame

to clean the trapped dust

she could not see

 

The leatherman micra,

 ten-tools-in-one

which I could have used

 instead of the screwdriver

if I had seen it there

under the

 

Distance glasses, reading glasses

 and prescription sunglasses

 

Natural goodness cat food coupon

expired

like all the others

 

The painter's five-way used to spread

creamy new fill into her cracked plaster

 

ABC fine wine and spirits loyalty rewards

current points 224

 

A chewed piece of Eclipse gum

wadded in a losing lottery ticket

 

The last of several home depot receipts

$7.94 for one gallon of paint

 

Flat, Antique White

This made me laugh... my friends get so mad at me for not carrying a purse but I say I'm allergic.. I know I would hoard all sorts of things in there and its scares me lol..xx

Oh! the contents of a woman's purse. Truely described, all things under the sun-from chewing gum to cat food coupon. Time to clean out mine , you remind me.
