the briefcase

i had a brief case
once of
brown leather.
i kept pens and
blank sheets of paper
inside.
occasionally
a sandwich for lunch.
not much else.
it felt
good to snap
it open,
then close it,
to let it swing importantly
by my side.
it's in a closet
somewhere now,
empty
except for
the dried ink of pens
still inside.
