Would anyone like to read the poem I just wrote for my poetry class? You don't need to critique it if you don't want to. It just entertained me.

Luggage

Listen: "Please control your baggage," says sec
urity. But it's not so easy to command these things-
good baggage takes time to acquire, and
great baggage takes effort to master.
A lot of people pay very large amounts to do just that.
Green ripstop nylon; neglect. It isn't always
easy to control.

I like it. It's always fun to riff off commonplace things like that. "Control your baggage." Yeah, easy for you to say. I've spent years working on this mental baggage.

Thanks, Connie! They said that as I was getting off the plane last week, and it just sent me into giggles.

And then they give you funny looks like you're the crazy one. Silly people.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Bwah!

"Shouldn't take it on the plane. Wouldn't be prudent."

"Prudent? Next thing you know, you're going to make me hand over my tweezers! Like good grooming should ever be disregarded! You should be ashamed of yourself."
