Rucksack – Duffle bag – Backpack
Packed
Note books – Journal books – Poetry books
Book books
Tin cans – Pots and pans
First aid – Survival kit
Complete with fishhooks, fishing line,
Lighter, matches
of the waterproof kind
Even a sewing kit
Equipped
With extra sewing needles,
black thread, safety pins,
Buttons,
Band-aids, gauze,
antiseptics,
Burn cream
Just in case
it's ever needed
Bucket hat Stuffed
down somewhere deep
A handkerchief –
bandana too
Flannels and sweater
For cool weather
Tennis shoes
For when hiking boots
Get too hot
A few days worth of food
Vegetarian – salmon jerky – chocolate protein bars
Sleeping bag rolled tightly
All slung heavily over my shoulder
“One fast move or I’m gone”
Kerouac once said
As he tried to run away from
Crashing waves of stardom
I just want to get away
From crashing city noise
And live life like a
