Check the pockets.  Sharpie.  Box Cutter.  Lip balm (Burt's Bees if possible).  Wallet in back pocket.  Keys...somewhere

I love your last two paragraphs. They were full of wonderful imagery. Beautiful.

I love the description of Dickie's Pants here. So true.

Lovely piece.

I also have a titanium spork, but it doesn't live in my bag anymore. Maybe it should I kind of miss the person who carried it. The you who carries one sounds awesome.

Any story that includes a spork is a winner. I loved your descriptions -- they were so funny, and the one about the bag was great.

Keys can be cruel that way
So true. :)

I have love in my heart and a knife in my boot...and, occasionally, poison on my lips.
I love the human complexity shown in just these few words.

Lovely ending, both in meaning and phrasing.
