Alix
Shoved in a box,
an awkward fit with gaps
in the corners and sides
that suffocate me.

Don't test the fragility of my confinement.
Don't make a scene.
Don't call attention to myself.
Don't embarrass them.

Row after row of boxes,
homogeneity broken
only by those unafraid to leave
everything behind.
One day that will be me.
