the girl with the purple purse

she carries
a small purple purse
slung over her shoulder

full of essentials, like
earrings
lipstick
quarters
and
hairclips

when she comes
in the door
purple purse
is discarded

in a short time
she's ready to go
and calls out,

"Purple purse,
where's my stupid
purple purse?"

if it could answer
it might say
"Here I am,
find me where
you left me"

she grabs it up
and rushes
out the door
purple purse
held tightly

how I love
that stupid
purple purse
