This is a space where I have a mid life crisis, write about my creative journey, and talk about songwriting and share bits of terrible poetry.

Clear Bag Policy

Written in

by


Men put their wallet in their worn back pocket
Ubiquitous lump.
But this dress doesn’t have pockets.

And woman carry all the supplies:

Never without protection,
Never without pads and tampons.

Because the timing of things you don’t control is always bad.

We are carrying the snacks, the hydration packs, some lip gloss, a few pens, the sunscreen, the bug spray, some bandaids and neosporene,

The just in case.

This policy was put in place by a man with a fat wallet in his back pocket.

He never bleeds.

Doesn’t look after small children.

Doesn’t understand the need for discretion.

And probably has a wife to carry all his shit.
