“What do you want to be before you’re retired?” The empty diaper box said to the new microwave box, a much needed, albeit belated, wedding gift. “What do you mean? I thought we go straight to recycling, or that firepit I saw out back on my way in?” He replied perplexed, sides sleek in the kitchen light. The diaper box laughed, “Oh no sweetheart, There’s still life in us yet. This is a house with children. Infinite possibilities and plenty of time As long as we hold our shape.” she said with a trill echoing down the seams, the extra reinforced packing tape dancing with the sound. “Well what are my options then give me some examples.”

The microwave box, unconvinced and fully prepared for the recycling bin. Her response rushed out then, “Oh, I mean anything at all! You can be a racecar, an igloo, a secret spy base, Santa’s workshop at the northpole, a castle with a dragon inside, a house, an ancient temple for archeological expeditions, the cave where mankind first discovered fire, a -“ “Anything… pragmatic?” he asked, visibly shrinking. She had to pause a moment, used to exploring the imaginative joy of their finite lives, “I suppose… storage for out of season clothes? Or the donations bin?” You could see the microwave box sigh with relief, straightening again. As he did, a child’s voice rang out loud from the other room,

“I’m going to the moon!!!” The diaper box chuckled, shaking top to bottom as she wryly said, “Oh honey, you’re in for an experience that’s out of this world.”

Forgot to tag it #SundaySwap and #fafo... but I think it'll be fine, lol. Anyway, for those not wanting to go to another site to view, I took screenshots. Bit of a longer spot of #narrative #poetry.

Serling's ghost came to me in a dream
Fresh from dinner with Shakespeare and Ibsen
He told me of an unending, fresh stream
Where every idea is born free from sin

I mail myself to you
in letters of boiled blue.
Break the seal
I'll crawl out
of the envelope
to wrap my arms around,
embrace like an old friend.
Hugs from typeprint
on a page face,
wishing you well from afar.
