next day air


i got tired of her
so i put her in a box
but it wasn't large enough
so part of her stuck out
and when i mailed it off
to someone who didn't exist
at an address that wasn't there
they had to cut her arm off
at the post office
they tried to deliver her
but they couldn't
and the box ended up
back at my door
with stamps on it
that say they did
all they could but in the end
i was wrong

now i have this box
sitting here on my porch
leaking onto the floorboards
and i'm thinking maybe
i did miss her a little
maybe i was wrong
and she is there inside the box
but i can't tell
if she's still alive
and if she is
should i open the box
take her inside
and try to explain
the situation.
