locked in a box

an ordinary box

a box like any other box

boxed in, boxed up

but not like package goods

no, not like that

not like that at all

believe me it's not

there are boxes

and

there are boxes

I like boxes

perhaps so do you

they're great for storage

we like that, sure enough

but to live in a box

to think in a box

no

not for me I'm afraid

yet too often I find

this to be my home

four walls a roof and a floor

no window to look beyond

to see the possibilites

to stir and stretch

to fly and bound

about

unfettered untied

that would be nice

indeed it would

in fact it could

except for the task I have to do

confounding me with questions

I have no answers for

while inside my box

my ordinary box

like any other box

    home
