'

boxes strewn on the floor
papers from a time before
when outcomes were attached
to futures hidden in the past

a black trash barrel stands guard
just in case the mind detaches
from dreams of the longest yard
measured hopes lost by inches

who needs fears and resentments
stored in cardboard memories
moments spent trying to please
slaves master of codependency?

right outside the kitchen door
comes the weekly garbage truck
boxes slide across the floor
time to give up ifs and buts




cardboard memories...
