...a handbag...

"Kate Middleton has one of these..."
It is not a selling point or shouldn't be
for nearly a whole month's wages.
It's not going to change my life or my mind,
although it does perfectly match my new shoes...
I will need to love the straps of it, the buckles,
all of its snakery, and its pockets with perfect
zip-up.
I will change my walk, the way I talk
(if I can be bothered)
to become the very stylish (older) owner  
of this handbag, each breath from now on
will be drawn as tribute to me becoming myself! 
"I love this handbag so much they will 
have to cut it from my rigor mortised grip,
on the last days."
'Kerr-ching!'
