Vimal’s handbag

Black and white women and monkey

She always had mints in it, extra strong or chewy ones

chewing gum

Loose bits of tobacco

stuck to everything

and inside the lipstick, eighties brown

A massive wallet, sometimes heavy with money

sometimes not

Lighters – changeable – sometimes a metal Zippo

packets of cigarettes with one turned upside-down

the lucky cigarette

odd pennies

perfumed leather

shopping list
