a purse without a bottom

i watch
women
reaching into their large purses.
unsnapping
them, and peering in,
reaching down
deep for what
they're trying to find.
it's a mine
in there.
gold and debris. girl stuff.
lipstick
and whatever keeps
them afloat
throughout the day.
a hairbrush,
a mirror. mints.
another phone you've never
seen.
pens and pads
of paper.
so many strange
and unmanly things.
