apparently
it does not suffice
to tuck yourself
away
in a suitcase
(and get your hair caught in the zipper and
chafe your skin against the leather and squeeze
your toes between
the socks and ugly underwear, and block
your ears, so they don’t hear
the sharp, clear sound of the locks as they
close, with finality,
no,)
you have
to carry it
too.
