In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Unboxing – 100 words

April 10, 2023 By Ellen

Unboxing

A toy, a gadget or a gizmo

is often unwrapped

and every entirely predictable moment

of removing the expensive trinket

from its unnecessary packaging is oohed

ahhed – and even filmed –

until you find in your hand

a naked electronic device

and not the joy you were seeking.

I want an unboxing revolution:

to cast aside the conventional cardboard

and cautious bubble wrap

to reveal

my unexpected interior self

with its urge to dance badly

and sing in quiet places and

tell people to fuck off.

Then, packaging free,

I could hurtle off

and do exactly what I fancy.
