about

A poem in which an everyday object becomes a metaphor for life.

lyrics

There's a green crate,
in the smoking area,
oddly mixed
with all the yellow ones.
In a prolific moment
I might say
it's a lot like me,
but it's not
one of those moments.

Right now
it's just a green crate,
and the roar
of passing cars
is just traffic,
not life,
rushing past me
like a flaming locomotive.
