Purse

full pack of cigarettes
a bottle of mucinex
accompanied with a generic, bottled-form,
of robotussin
delicately called
just-
'tussin'
scattered cough drops
that dance along
the free tobacco
lain in the bottom
of my purse
a pocket dictionary,
its convenient
pretty red lipstick
in a seductive casing
broken blush
with a brush
saturated
in rose pink
various bus transfers
that speak of my many travels
pennies and dimes
temporarily useless
because of that silly thing
called inflation
a small flowered coin purse
that contain no currency
beads sparingly
missing
white cherry blossom lotion
to moisturize
my cold dry hands
silver cell phone
old and beaten
probably only
made to percieve
that it is
much more
functional,
than it truly is
pink leather wallet
that comprises of
dollars
and coffee cards
and an expired ID
batteries
maybe new
probably used
contact case
(I wear glasses)
the blue lining
does not assist me
to finding anything
more quickly
the khaki canvas
in which my purse
is made from
is now lightly
stained with-
booze
coffee
dirt, in general
I do enjoy
the two side
pockets
to hold
water bottles
that may be filled
with water
or vodka
depending
whatever day it
falls upon.
