With the recent move, it's no wonder I wrote a poem about it. Enjoy. :)

_Inside of a Box_

Batches of boxes,  
Packing peanuts and tape,  
Gasoline and cash,  
Fill up the week to come.

Packing away things  
Used everyday fills  
The day and passes away.

Keys, cleaners and sweat  
Could fill the rooms and  
Hallways of each new place;  
Leaving the old empty.

Discovering forgotten things  
For a brief window of time  
Only to lose once more.

Forward and back  
And back again  
Distance between place and place  
Becomes staggering.

It makes me happy and sad  
And tired  
To see my life put in  
And reduced to  
A bunch of cardboard boxes.
