box
in the basement.
it's quite a collection
of odds and ends.
black heels. one shoe.
stockings.
ear rings.
watches.
rings and necklaces.
ticket stubs and hair brushes.
under garments
of pale unearthly
colors.
tubes of lipstick.
cell phones.
road maps with my house
circled
in red.
a small pink gun, unloaded.
one whip.
one mask.
a coiled rope
and a pair of leather gloves.
small size.
a pack of gum,
mints.
an empty bottle of cheap
perfume.
a dog collar and a leash.
a stewardess pin.
a polaroid camera with
the film still in.
one wig, red.
a swiss army knife,
a frisbee and
one unopened package
of twinkies.
i shake my head and laugh.
it's all a blur now.
i take the twinkies and go
upstairs
for a snack.
