The Package Was Too Big
A Poem by TTBoy
Everyone was so excited
They could not wait for the package to arrive
to see what was inside
the package
And when the doorbell rang
the exuberance intensified
Together they approached
sweat formed and beaded
forehead to armpit to crotch
They were so excited
And the door they approached
appeared as a zipper busting at the seams
Slowly extending a hand
an arm
They reached
and in unison they opened the door
as they fell
falling as if bowing to a deity
And when the chanting was done
They raised their heads with hands
made into steeples
and opened their eyes
so that their mouths collectively widened
to welcome such a beautiful package that everyone
may not be able to accept but enjoy
