home

i carry it with me

wherever i go

mine

is powdered

in capsules

hidden in a pillbox

they

are stowaways

and i ride too

i looked

only seven left

just one this time

i’ll need

to save the rest

for another time

one for

a wedding

a few for funerals

once

they’re gone

i’ll be free to ramble
