Undiscovered Selves (1974)

He peered inside the blue knapsack, then emptied it on the ground. There wasn’t much. Two 3 Musketeers bars, a single Tampax tampon (the same kind his sister used), Rum N' Raison flavored Bonne Bell Lip-Smacker (he was puzzled by the enormous tube), a Feelin' Lucky keychain with a yellow smiley face and two keys attached, one balled-up pair of white tube socks, red gym shorts with a sewn in label (Cindy), a light blue pair of underpants with tiny clovers, a Kleenex Tissues pocket pack, and a book. He buried his face in the crotch of the undies. He wasn’t interested in books. The Undiscovered Self by C.G.Jung—what kind of name was that? He threw the book at her head, now covered with dead leaves. The candy bars wouldn’t go to waste. She had good taste there, although he would always be a Snickers man.
