Keep things where they settle. Settled. It settled there, so keep it there. Wrapped. It's wrapped there, in bubble wrap; Placed in the box, very carefully. Bubble wrap fits nicely in boxes. The pretty box is labeled: “DO NOT DISTURB. DO NOT TOUCH.” Don't open Pandora's box. "I won't." Just a little touch... She slips and it blasts open. The wind billows throughout the room, knocking her off her feet. Torn pieces of paper dance in the gusts of wind and settle, placing themselves in a circle around her. She's wrapped up in words unseen, unheard. Unsettled. Keep things where they settle.

Pandora's Box
Keep things where they settle. Settled. It settled there, so keep it there. Wrapped. It's wrapped there, in bubble wrap; Placed in the box, very carefully. Bubble wrap fits nicely in boxes. The pretty box is labeled: “DO NOT DISTURB. DO NOT TOUCH.” Don't open Pandora's box. "I won't." Just a little touch... She slips and it blasts open. The wind billows throughout the room, knocking her off her feet. Torn pieces of paper dance in the gusts of wind and settle, placing themselves in a circle around her. She's wrapped up in words unseen, unheard. Unsettled. Keep things where they settle.
