I lie here, working out
What I should pack
Into the suitcase under the bed.
Thinking about
How quickly I could get away,
If it all became too much,
Escape imperative.
Only the things I really need,
Or can't live without.
Will the Panda fit in?
It has a zip around the top.
It's small.
It can't hold everything.
What do I have of value, anyway?
I can't take the piano.
I don't have any photos.
My guitar has its own case.
Not much to show for my life,
Too many memories,
Not enough clothes.
What I should pack
Into the suitcase under the bed.
Thinking about
How quickly I could get away,
If it all became too much,
Escape imperative.
Only the things I really need,

Not much to show for my life,
Too many memories,
Not enough clothes.
