Boxes

These boxes

They had such a grip on me

These boxes

They owned my life

These boxes

They controlled me

These boxes

They prevented me

These boxes

They were in the way

These boxes

For 

Love letters and

Greeting cards

Misery

Moving

and

Memories

Stuffing

Selling

Shipping

Storage

Sorting

and

Toys

and

Vinyl records

And wishbones, human teeth, and specimens

And

Sketchbooks

Pencils

Pens

Inks

Paint

Crayons

Saw blades

Hair

Ashes

Bones

These boxes

Boxes to the grave

Boxes of life

Cardboard boxes

Controlling boxes

Owning boxes

Box ownership

Down with the vessel

Down with the sea

No more boxes

For you

and

me
