“Pariah Luggage by Stewart Stafford I am the last piece of luggage, On the baggage carousel, If there's a suitcase deity, It has cursed and forsaken me. I see the excited faces drop, Blank me and turn away, And around I go yet again, Condemned to ovoid limbo. The stumbling supermodel, On a mortification catwalk, Bursting at badly-taped seams, Spilling contents everywhere. On my next lap of shame, Those same faces show pity, For the uninvited leper guest, At life's most fugacious "party." © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.” — Stewart Stafford
Pariah Luggage by Stewart Stafford
I am the last piece of luggage,
On the baggage carousel,
If there's a suitcase deity,
It has cursed and forsaken me.
I see the excited faces drop,
Blank me and turn away,
And around I go yet again,
Condemned to ovoid limbo.
The stumbling supermodel,
On a mortification catwalk,
Bursting at badly-taped seams,
Spilling contents everywhere.
On my next lap of shame,
Those same faces show pity,
For the uninvited leper guest,
At life's most fugacious "party."
