Kicking the Box
Something to talk about thinking about the box What is in it What is made of What is in between the corrugated hallways What is outside the box and how does it feel The many face of a box whether it has top or not Taking the concrete crate making it abstract but knowable Watching as words become the paint to color the box springs to make them leap from the page Grasping outward spiraling on end like a diamond depending on the shape of the box of course If the box is or is not stationary If it is an unfolded or folded box Does it beat within the chest Does it sing or have wings Inside is it warm or outside in a storm Is it rigid or a breath upon your neck Boxing is it a golden ring or storing things Is it lost crumpled in a bin Looking from outside the box maybe it never really was the problem but the portmanteau a creation to kick around
