This Purse Sand Is Crusting Under My Fingernails
I Thought There Was A Hair Tie In Here But As I Blindly Rummage Around My Nerveless Fingers Grab Only Air
That’s Not The Chapstick I Was Looking For This One Leaves A Whiteish Waxy Coating On My Lips But Any Port In A Storm
THAT’S THE WRONG HAIR CLIP
My wallet isn’t here
This Pen Has No Cap On It And I Have Stabbed The Underside Of My Finger And Now There Is Blood And Ink Under My Split Nail, Christ Damn It
If None Of These Are Coins What Is Jingling
It’s Just Heavy Enough That My Shoulder Is Going To Hurt All Afternoon, I Think
I Feel Like I’ve Missed Out On Displaying The Correct Class Signifier In This Situation And Picking Up My Purse Is Only Making Things Worse
Oh God The Phone That’s Making Noise Is In Fact Mine
Something Is Open And Melted In Here And I Don’t Know What It Is
