The House Is On Fire
A Fireman tells me I have 16 minutes to grab some things,
I take:
my purse,
my medications,
family photographs,
all my vintage jewelry,
fuzzy, fuzzy pink pajamas,
a complete change of clothing,
and oh yes, my cell phone charger,
I stuff everything in an old battered suitcase:
leaving a tear.
