I’ve tried every box,
every brand, every store.
It’s 2018;
We make technological advances galore.
We make phones that recognize
people's faces.
There’s cars that drive
On their own to places.
We have implants for hearing
to give those in silence some sound.
And I bet we hold some of the best work
in a secret lab somewhere underground.
With all of that said,
there’s something way out of order
if I can still never rip the cellophane
without destroying the cardboard corner.
