An extended version of The Box.

In this box

Put the shocks and the secrets

            Emitted and omitted

Keep it, or say it with impact

 =====================

Dwelling on the unfulfilled

            It pays in ways deplored

                        A sore guild to build

Lining the walls of infrastructure

 =====================

Never empty, ever thirsty

            So let it drink and think and sync to experience

                        Because once you blink

You’ll find out nothing has happened since

 =====================

We put memories and masterpieces

Trying times and times spent trying

Our fear, glory, scars, and smiles

Staying only a while, in style

 =====================

With Boeings, Bugattis, and bicycles

We move with shut eyes

Add hysterics and hoaxes

The kind found only with travel

 =====================

We progress, unraveled

With our feet on rough gravel

Scuffed, but tough enough

To break our habits

 =====================

And you in the back

The dark corner’s wallpaper

Can only fill it with a jolt of adrenaline

Blinding yourself with the light of involvement

 =====================

Your persistence and purpose

A finesse to impress

            Finds success in filling up the rest

Dominating the consumption of space

 =====================

In the end an overflow

            Letting go of what is known

                        Ripping an unhealthy comfort

Decisions dripping into smoke

 =====================                      

Everything burnt or buried

            Reflections of time carried

                        Married to final memories

Deposited before the top shuts
