Powder Thought Boxes
there is this exact space
into which every thought fits
in its proper fold
you bend all over
keeping them aligned by the groove
trim
and smooth
and flatten the thickness
and then molds everything
to reduce the size
you write on top of the box the name
putting the meaning inside
then tie it with a sash
and put it on the shelf
just open the box to find out
what can you avoid doing again
the same nonsense as always.
