Notes About The Poem

Jan might appreciate this "brief" poem :)

Underpacking

UNDERPACKING

packed only one
of
a kind

not expecting leaking
nor
quickening of rain

no moist path
of
cottony softness

his wife packed
three
six packs

with stripes and flowers
polka dots
bikinis, briefs, and grandma-size

I exaggerate, he
brought two
one to hang

near the bathroom sink
