...outside the box

Drawing by Ken Brown

I is subject

Me is object

Object of trying

To think outside the box

Very hard

I did not have to

Go to Berlin

To be the object

Of the verb trying

Trying comes naturally here

To think - not so natural

Inside the box

Outside the box

Me trying

Disappearing Boundaries

Getting outside of the box.

        Trying very hard.

Where is my body in this box?

                Trying very hard to think.

All I see, all I feel, is my head.

                       Trying very hard to think a thought.

The thoughts           bounce        all around        “in the box.”

Where is my body?

There is no body "in the box"

                      Trying hard no more.

                               The box is no more
             
                                        Than a shape in my body.
