THE BAD BOX
I will put in the box
silly right-wing politicians
insolent blondes
the catholic mindset
I will put in the box
the overblown bureaucracy
people who write hate books
unreasonable fears
My box will be of thin white paper
with shiny scarlet ribbons,
translucent and light.
I will write a card to go with it
and give it to my heart's favourite
He will know what to do with the box.
