the world is made of
boxes
the earth isn’t but the world is
boxes
we build containers
boxes
we are contained restrained
order is maintained because we refrain
from stepping out of our comfortable
boxes
sometimes we think we think outside the
box
only to discover we are enclosed in bigger
boxes
like humans, turtles live in
boxes
they get around
they cover ground
they view the world from inside
boxes
they shelter in keratin shell
boxes
humans shelter in mental shell
boxes
turtles and people know they are safer in
boxes
turtles stick their necks out of
boxes
people step out of their
boxes
then step back into their
boxes
some lucky people live in paper thin
boxes
