ode to this bag

I found you
in an expensive thrift store
where name brands are pricy
even though second hand

You were made by "chocoholic"
and that is why you were cheap
duffle-bag-cuteness
of blue and red houses and trees

I know I do not need you
since I have others
but my fancy is tickled
by new things, plus

bags are useful, helpful,
holding and transporting my stuff
and, a case could be made that it is a sign of intelligence since bags set us apart from the other animals,
since only humans carry their baggage around.
