The Box

box ladyWritten in 1985.

I’m in a box.
I’ve been here
a long time.
There’s no way
out.
All eight corners
are the same.
All six sides
have been scrutinized.
I stare
in hopes that I
might see
something new.
Maybe there are pores
with minute creatures
living inside.
If I look
long enough
maybe I shall see.
