A POEM ABOUT BOXES

there are many sorts of boxes:

big boxes
small boxes
hierarchical boxes (box-people love hierarchy)
intellectual boxes
theological boxes
addictive boxes
egotistical boxes
high-paying boxes
"cultural" boxes
black-mail boxes
violent boxes (a lot of violent boxes)
tricky Iago boxes
long-haired boxes
pretentious artistic boxes
masculine boxes
bo-tox boxes

there are so many boxes,
many so familiar they feel like home

Me, I'm trying to lose the boxes,
and I'm far from alone

I think it should be 'hierarchical' - sorry to be pedantical.

Nice poem sean. Then you get the dog-box, where I usually find myself.
