VIEWS FROM A CLOSED BOX

[inside] the walls insist they are the world.
four corners. one dark. one breath bouncing back.

[outside] someone is arguing about whether I exist.

[inside] I put my ear to the cardboard
and hear probability scratching at the lid.

Schrödinger’s cat is a terrible roommate—
half dead, half alive, entirely sick of being a metaphor.

we share the dark. it tells me:
the trick is not knowing.

because until the box opens
I am every version of myself—

the one who escaped. the one who stayed.
the one who became teeth. the one who became light.

[observer] they lift the lid.

[inside] I close my eyes.

Let them wonder.
