a poem

A narrow, rectangular cardboard box sits on a white table and open at the top. Two large indoor plants sit on a light colored wooden floor in the background.

To the curb, to the bin,

checking boxes is no longer in.

Fancy vees are my former vibe.

List making,

task breaking,

goal staking,

are now in the

donation bin.

This project baker, to do slaker,

future shaker,

is now chillin’, fit to be killin’

it by just being

a gift – a box

open to the present

and not wreckin’

with a reckon

by checkin’

a feckin

to do.
