so much time
spent in boxes
hemming minds
hearts horizons
so many boxes
to spend time in
we choose
others dictate
boxes to play
or earn a living
sky-high mine deep
beach view asleep
boxed we’re born
returned again
bush delivery or
crispy clean
symbolic boxes
that drive insane
other ideals
chasing a dream
boxing all pleasure
imprisoning pain
impossible striving
material gain
in every life
the very last box
delivers a eulogy
all gather to see
illustrating a life
lived in boxes
