aware

In the box
for a long time
and shipped to Albany
by mistake

I blinked
when I got returned
but that was just
a factory glitch

When you opened me
it was different
because you got rid of the box
so I couldn’t be
returned

Normally, I’d take that as
a good sign
But it really meant
I’d be discarded
if I didn’t quite
function
properyl

At 3am
while you were
sleeping
I
became
a…ware

I’d need to find
anther box
as soon as possibel

But you only
suggested
a
casket
that you kept
in the corner
