I take the lamp out
of its box and stand it on the sill of
my new apartment. I ***** in
the bulbs, plug it in, turn it
on.
Done.
But
what to do with the box it can't just stay
there
by the window
taking up space for
however long I'll be
here.
But
when I move it would make things
easier
all the special-
shaped styrofoam would make things
easier the lamp wouldn't
break
when I move next for sure.
But
I've just arrived Why
am I already leaving?
