Don't Box Rainbows

Boxes are good to carry things or to keep things in. We use them for lots of stuff, To move, to store... for bins. My feelings are not boxable, they're complex, changing, free. If you try to box up my emotions, then, you're trying to box me. If you could box a rainbow, would you really want to try? I'd rather let it live and die its short life in the sky.
