Movers

How much cardboard
will it take to frame
your whole life?
The man suggests
that you may need
more than last time.
You worry he's right,
the accumulation
unstoppable by now
for you. You buy
extra just in case
—hoarding boxes
itself another form
of consumption.

Thanks for reading! This year I'm writing poems about moving into my first house and dealing with a lot of drama and evolution in this and other parts of my life. We'll see where it goes.
