The Box

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jan 27, 2024 

The box.
Inside.
Outside.
Existence
in a
box.
All
that’s
known,
resides
within.
Tiny
box.
Finite
box.
Barely
discernible.
Tumbling
in the
void.
Lost
in the
forevermore.
What’s
outside?
Everything!
Everything
else.
Infinite
understanding.
Boundless
knowledge.
Where
the gods
reside.
