This morning's walk,
Got me thinking about
So many empty boxes
So many stories
Past approximately fifty
Empty packing boxes,
Finished, flattened, stacked,
Indicating a new-to-them-home,
Perhaps a long-awaited dream.
Past approximately fifty
Empty (I assume) pizza boxes.
Overflowing their recycling bins
Suggesting many fast-food dinners,
Perhaps a long week.
Past approximately fifty
Empty Amazon boxes
Haphazardly placed at the curb,
In just hours,
Orders, delivery, trash.

Empty boxes make us imagine so many things.
All I can think of is what fun my 5 year old grandson would have with those boxes! Fun to read
What stories empty boxes conjure up. arjeha
I have never thought about boxes telling a story. This makes me want to look in the recycling bins down the street and get those stories imangined!
That's a lot of boxes. We are certainly a consuming society, aren't we?
