My car?
a roomier version of a 
purse
or backpack
Front seat holds
a stack of new books
I've got first dibs,
but only if I can't find kids 
who want 
to read them first

Folded windshield sunshades
(needed all year 
in Texas)
stuffed between said seat 
and console
where there's a stack 
of empty gift cards
a prayer card
a green rosary
S. made
two years ago
a work badge
on a floral pink lanyard

On the back seat floorboard
rests a recycled grocery tote bag
full of recycled grocery tote bags
another bag still holds 
black velvet flats
a blue tulle skirt
white tights
a black satin sash
black leather sneakers
and a long, blonde wig
from last month's 
comic con event

Somewhere underneath
those bags
is a black drawstring backpack
donning a half marathon logo
eight years past
a rolled up yoga mat
three pairs of sunglasses

In the way back
sit three bags 
of outgrown clothes
(mine)
meant for a thrift store
I pass every day
on my way home
remembering they're back there
as I pass the light

I'll drop everything off 
tomorrow
