Hey, hey, hey
by Michael C. Keith

We’re all in our boxes

Hey, hey, hey . . .

Stored away from the light

Hey, hey, hey . . .

In thick lead containers

Hey, hey, hey . . .

Dark, frigid, airless spaces

Hey, hey, hey . . .

Our 74”x23”x12” crates

Hey, hey, hey . . .

We waste away in silent talk

Hey, hey, hey . . .

Of things we did when we once lived

Hey, hey, hey . . .

And when we stop no one notices

Hey, hey, hey . . .

Except the guy with our pizza order
