Sport 34: Winter 2006

Handbag

Handbag

Bea's handbag is like a brain with lists in it—
Rothman's
toilet paper
onion x 2

In the kitchen Bea talks to the brain
Where are the bloody keys?
  Have you seen my wallet?
    It's a black hole in here.

From the brain she has pulled
a gingerbread man,
a plastic duck,
five Real Lace handkerchiefs.

Outside, the world
is having its own conversation—
roots to leaves,
  grass to sky,
    birds to plain air.
