Samsonite by Jo Ashburn
 
The cloud over Kinocti was like a giant 
Windshield Wiper,
Sweeping across the sky,
Leaving trails of mist
We all wish
For a miracle to wipe us clean 
So we can start over. 
But even in the next life, 
We keep our baggage.
And the only thing to do with baggage 
Is to unpack it. 
All of it
Even the dirty socks
And deal with it. 
Because as painful as that gets,,
It's better than the hernia
From lugging that luggage around.
You don't need Windex
It's more like Drano.
