Unaccompanied Baggage
Sometimes things get lost in transit,
left behind on wide sidewalks
next to the warning signs and the
presence of police cameras.
Sometimes the language of distance
surveils us in untranslated dreams.
Or maybe this is just temporary
and somebody will return to claim it.
Sometimes an announcement will be
made for a lost child, a missing passport.
Misplacing one’s identity is too common
in a country founded on myth and merit.
