Boxes
Boxes
Living in boxes
Becomes squarish affair
Four corners and straight edges
Flat sides and hard bottoms
Things stacked precariously in corners
of over-priced hotel rooms, small apartments & tiny bedrooms
Miscellaneous things buried beneath other odd things
Lost haphazardly in the darkness of bottomless
boxes, suitcases and storage lockers
Shut off in darkness
from the world of sunlight
Living always in a box
Is a boring, matter of fact style of life
To find one's way, amongst and between all the boxes
Is a puzzle without a simple solution
