Canvas Bag

by Justine C. Tajonera

Every day I load this
canvas bag
with my spoon and
fork
wrapped in a woven
cloth, tied with
a ribbon.

This is where I stash
my newly bought
books,
my cookies,
my magazines.
This is where
I bring my supplies
like toilet paper
or the occasional
tube of toothpaste.

My canvas bag
is so ordinary
and easy to
miss

but indispensable.

How did it begin
to be my constant
companion,
a witness to my
adventures and
misadventures
on the train?

I don't really
know.
But here it is
on my
shoulder.
