I found it at a shop in Oakland
There were just a few for sale
I carry it with pride
Everyone wants one
Where did you get it, they ask
They’re all out, I say
I checked online
It’s definitely a top 5 bag I’ve had in my life
In addition to a Frida Kahlo plastic picture with sequin hairOn a handled basket I bought in Boulder almost 20 years ago
The handles scratch my shoulders
But I keep it
Always in style
Frida is on tour at the museums
As if we didn’t already know she is amazing
And how much she suffered
She said to forgive
And not to hold on to grudges, even against
Her lecherous husband whom we forgive because he could paint
Like a genius and his murals are in Rockefeller Center and San Francisco Art Insitute
I visited his home in Guanajuato, Mexico
It was small because he was very short
The catsicle bag with rainbow handles requires no deep thought
