Excess Baggage

Louis Vuitton

will not let you go.

Not until your ears crave

that zipper sound,

the sound that admits

what you always believed:

there’s something on the

other side.  Open and shut case.

Either your credit cards 

are in there or they’re not,

there’s no room to lie.

In Donna Karan’s New York,

where everything hangs in proper

proportion, everything asserts its belonging

as does the debutante;

with a stylish swing that says

chic or diva. Those things not en vogue

live at the bottom

of last year’s Gucci.

Zip.  Put away. But always there.

A couple of Kenneth-Cole-walks

around the block

would look good on you;

thoughts, as matching accessories,

jingle.  Last year’s handbag

that was so this year

goes out the next.

Its handle broke. 

And the new Lana Marks

replaces that gaudy

fashion faux pas you used to have

on your shoulder; worn with issues

by J’accuse.  Shoulder pads

by Chip.
