| Throw away |
this tattered old briefcase
makes me sentimental
now that I'm finally
throwing it out
and glad to
but
first I turn it in my hands
and remember a time
when I was
half the age I am now
eager and scared
gawky and keen
wearing a brown skirt
and ugly striped blouse
and big glasses
this was my briefcase
and I was
just beginning
