To travel light

I wish some shoes regulated
Themselves a and a suit always clean
(a film was made) also, underwear that
Didn’t need to be changed
How easy it will have been to travel.
A tiny holdall for shaving cream blades
Moreover, a toothbrush; come to think of it
No need to shave when travelling and
The toothbrush could be stuck in the suits
Breast pocket, hands-free taking pictures
Of wild elephants or polar bears.
Free to have your belonging riffled through
By a uniformed officer.
Travel in a plane have my polluted name
Written in the sky, drink a whisky-on the rocks
Also, trying to relax, aware your wife is
Travelling with five big suitcases.
