On Squeaky Bags

I hear there are others like me out there. I know there are others that feel this pain.

But still I feel alone.

When I walk across my campus and the strap on my bag squeaks, I am sure I am the only one with this problem. And that it is written across my face.

Everyone who passes knows who I am. That is the girl who's messenger bag obstinately squalls with every step.

Not that I haven't tried to stop it. I will awkwardly shift as I trudge, swinging the dead, lead weight out and grabbing the strap awkwardly.

Maybe if I put my hand over the clasp I can muffle the sound of my shame.

But despite my best efforts the squeaking continues.



And don't even get me started on my stilettos....
