This Old Bag

is so familiar.
the burden within
its fitted straps
easily carried upon my back.

across the miles
through the years so-much-so
I sense the wear
feel the tears

running down -

as I wander -
do I need another old bag
to fit so well
to carry the burden upon my back

like mine still does.
because I’ve often thought, ‘I wanted that’.
but when I look
the trend is bagless!

which worries me

because

without an old bag to fit so well,
the burden within
its fitted straps
easily carried upon my back.

how should I bear the load?

Who knows?
