Black Box
Tucked softly
in the waistband of my shorts
is an expensive black box.
It opens up a world
and holds the lives of mankind
like herding livestock.
Beware opening this black box.
When you do,
it will become fused to you.
A dystopian hell’s wet dream.

So true 🙁
Amen! “Beware opening this black box.”
Ah, yes, dystopian. Love the last line.
Our phones are a modern-day Pandora’s Box… Well done!
Thanks for the feedback!! I am so happy that some were able to connect with this piece. It’s a bit different for me. It’s not my favorite but I really enjoyed writing it and I do kind of like it!
I have moments of disappointment, when I can’t post a recording of my laughter.
I thoroughly enjoy your tongue in cheek humor and find glee in the celebration of a dystopian hell!
Ah! I would have loved to hear that laugh! Thank you for reading!!
