IN THE BOX
there was nothing in
the box
no cat about
to wavefront collapse
lap dissolve
no Pandora
still in there upon
whom
we are all about
to pin our last hopes
truth be told
there never was a box
is no box
no such
thing
as box
(except as thing
you need to think outside of
think
your way out of)
nice to play
that
we are real, think
we are
real
there is a world of boxes
and stuff to put in them
structure, architecture,
form
to do this
stick this somewhere
pen it on
the page
send it across
the airwaves
world
starting to look
considerably less secure
yet, still a foundation of sorts
provided,
things that presuppose
boxes are real
