a girl and her luggage

it's just for two

nights,

i say to myself as i watch

her

pull luggage out

of the car.

her bags are a happy

green.

i put my shoes on

to go out

and fetch the larger

ones.

she takes the one

on wheels,

i grab the ones with straps

pulling them

onto my shoulder,

down my back.

i've learned

not to ask.
