a couple silly things i wrote last night...

Boxes at Work

there are boxes of boxes
of boxes of boxes
to be taken to the trash
there are boxes of boxes
of boxes of boxes
to be dealt with accordingly
though there are so many boxes
i care not to gather them
dismantling their cubish figure
side by side
corner by corner
so the boxes of boxes
of boxes of boxes
will stay in their place
in the middle of the floor.

Chopping Ice

the snow and rain has come
and gone.
they've frozen themselves
to my driveway
clinging to its surface
as if their existence
depends on the asphalt.
but my trusty ice pick
shall break their grasp
delivering crushing blow
after crushing blow,
after crushing blow
to hard (yet melting) ice.
as the blade hammers down
towards the ice about my feet
i twist the handle slightly
and when it hits,
an eruption of ice shards
and water droplets
explodes from the epicenter.
though the warmer day
has helped my process a tad,
there is still that stubborn area
of ice that just wont quit
so i hit it harder,
and harder
hoping to pry the two apart
but alas!
the ice has prevailed,
so i curse it
and return inside.
