A bag for life?
that would be perfect
maybe a touch excessive
as it's enormous
for just a basic meal deal
scissors and hair dye
of course there is the lipstick
but it will be fine
for several pairs of shoes
plus changes of clothes
when I get tomorrow's train
towards Manchester
speedily changing platforms
to another town
where landlords still accept cash
and don't ask questions
my bruises will fade in time
I will find a job
somehow I will start again
if I buy this bag
for me and my brand new life.
