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
