Boxes (Fighting writer's block)

I RECOGNIZE THE FACT

I SIT IN A BOX TO WRITE.

MY WRITING IS ALSO IN A BOX.
SO I TAKE A CREATIVE WRITING COURSE
THAT HELPS ME DEFINE THE BOXES I’M BOXED IN.

NOW
I’VE MADE MY “A”
AND HAVE A NEW BOX
TO KEEP MY BOX IN.
NEW WORDS
DEFINE THE FIRST BOX,

THE 2nd BOX,

THE NEW BOX AND THE OLD.

I RECOGNIZE

HOW UNNECESSARY BOXES ARE,

BUT KNOW I CAN NEVER ESCAPE
THE FACT MY CREATIVE WRITING COURSE

HAS TAKEN EVERYTHING BUT THE BOXES AWAY.
