A Good Box It Was

Folder: 
2021

Cardboard remnants 

of past lives,

Strewed in hallways

of crowded sentiments.

Reluctant,

yet expectant

of earned places

to be found,

she caresses the cellulose caskets

of long ago purchases,

and emporer thumbs down it all.

Except, maybe one.

Maybe, that one,

Because,

that one,

was, still,

a really good box.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

You know you are adulting when you have a favorite spatula and you save really good boxes, cuz... they are really good boxes.
