Lost Purse

Richard Schnap

She could have left it
On a bus to work
Or the corner booth
Of a neighborhood bar
Or the dressing room
Of a department store
Or the floor of a theater
Whose film made her weep

And with it was gone
Her rose red lipstick
And the small black book
With its numbers of friends
And the lottery ticket
She bought on a whim
And the key she still kept
To her ex-husband's house
