How insignificant my life seems,
When packed away in boxes,
Sealed closed by plastic streams—
My life boiled down to a synopsis.
All the objects of my history
Are now hidden out of sight;
Piles of cardboard filled with me,
Things which show my life.
Broken things for the memories,
Gifts from near and far;
Childhood toys & curiosities—
All perfect, though some are marred.
A wall of cardboard memories,
The very essence of me,
Beckons me to adventure…
I wonder what it will be.
