By buying boxes,
life can be bottled up.
Bagged and packaged,
blissfully buttoned
as to not break
the big beautiful blanket
of balled-up bells
and buried ballads.
By buying boxes,
our stories are badged
with a blasé label,
a blunt descriptor
for a mixed bag of bellowing tales,
and lingering babel
bravely brought back
into a bleak hole
to never be baked
into our bulky mythology.
By buying boxes,
the bad can be forgotten,
our blindest blunders
blown into the depths
to barely be seen
in the blues of our days.
By buying boxes,
you'll finally blast your bumbling boss
about how you bleeping hate
his barren head,
hoping he gets betrayed
by a brittle toupee
in the busiest of meetings.
By buying boxes,
we can bleed our pasts dry,
boil away what we'd rather forget,
and blot the good parts
into the bows of our boats
as we sail boldly
into our "best" selves.
By buying boxes,
our brains can play
bubbling with possibilities
at what blazing epics
we can bring into existence,
the buckets of fun
we can brilliantly breed
for the most basic days.
By buying boxes,
we can finally
pump the brakes...
By buying boxes,
we can start all over...
blank.
By buying boxes,
we can let go of
beauty,
and simply just
be.
