I´m Having an Affair

A conversation between me and the backpack today:

Me: You´re a part time lover and a full time friend. The monkey on your back is the latest trend. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Backpack: I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train. I kiss you all starry eyed my body swingin´side to side. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Me: Here is the church and here is the steeple. We sure are cute for two ugly people. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Backpack: Pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive. So why can´t you forgive me? I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Me: I will find my niche in your car. With my mp3, DVD, rumble pack guitar. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Backpack: Up up down down left right left right B A start. Just because we use cheats doesn´t mean we´re not smart. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Me: You are always tryin´to keep it real. I´m in love, with how you feel. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Backpack: We both have shiny happy fits of rage. You want more fans, I want more stage. I don´t see what anyone can see, in anyone else, but you.

Me: Don Quixote was a steel driving man. My name is Jess and I´m your biggest fan...

And so on. We hiked 30 km today. I´m already crazy to begin with. I love Deuter. I love my backpack. It causes me absolutely no back pain.
