metaphor PAD 20-1

 

My Travel Buddy

 

My buddy

travels with me

to Kenya, England, Italy,

wherever I go.

 

He hungrily eats up

tightly packed pants,

tops, toiletries,

socks, unmentionables.

 

He gleefully rolls along

airport hallways,

though he suffers indignities

from baggage handlers.

 

At home, he undergoes surgery,

as I extract stuff out of his belly.

And then he waits impatiently

in my closet till next trip.
