Life in a Bag

By JFarrell

(my favourite game, World of Warcraft, “Town-in-a-Box”, brilliant, so Terry Pratchett)

Currently,

I have my whole life in a bag;

Every piece of identity,

Every proof of everywhere I ever lived,

My bills,

My qualifications,

My bank statement.

Everywhere I go today,

Wants me to prove who I am

Prove where I live,

And they all want something different.

Sometimes,

I have to agree with them,

Are you sure, you’re who you say you are?

Prove it.
