We come to this world in pursuit of boxes

What we call “houses” are concrete boxes

Things we buy come in boxes

Things we have kept in boxes

When we travel, we pack stuff in boxes

Reached our destinations, we unpack the boxes

Packing these boxes

Unpacking the boxes

Memories seem to be kept in our minds’ boxes

Every day we pack and unpack these boxes

We spend money buying boxes

We spend time packing and unpacking theses boxes

We occupied these boxes?

Or are we occupied by these boxes?

When we leave this world, we are yet again housed in boxes

We come to the world pursuing boxes, and leave the world in boxes
