–encased in make-up

–enwrapped in pleather pads,

I lobbed

carry on

–complete with shoulder straps,

I threw dirty duds

–drug through endless muck,

I pitched Samsonites

–along with broken wheel

I stole unchecked bags

lightened

but laden

take on

unexpected route

and so Mis Stepped

at first, but next,

she circled roundabout

and home Ward bound

a Way that wound

in fashions found in Roam

not haute couture

but warm nurture

was Atlas that led home.
