Box
Excuses excuses excuses is all I have
For putting you in the wrong BOX of
WORK and LIFE, work is so big that
Life is clipped 5 minute conversations
Between the garbage and rocks, that
Fill up my WORK box making you
An invisible corporate accessory

B

LIFE is not a rehearsal, and you have
Limits, so today when I came home
The BOX with you in it was empty

A

D

I am staring at wall in an empty
Room in and empty house, of the
BOX I had put you in thinking that if

O

I had listened to my heart which made
Me feel so bad abandoning you to a
Priority that will be a forgotten tomorrow
