It's a tiny little box,
this place where I almost live.
Sitting in a parking lot
surrounded by silent, empty cars.
Four walls, one door
and three picture windows.
I sit in my rolly chair
watching life drive by.
From time to time
I'll get a visitor.
They give me money
or gripe at me for something
that isn't my fault
but their's instead.
This box is my home,
away from home.
Where I sit
for four or five hours at a time.
It's peaceful, though not quiet
and it gives me time to reflect
on many things in life,
sometimes even life's meaning.
Not technically my own,
this little box is a part of me.
The nice thing about it is
that I get paid to sit
and watch over things.
A job so easy and nice,
but not without it's stressors.
So day by day I sit,
watching life pass by,
in my tiny little box,
under a clear blue sky.

nice poem.. it really shows you sit and question things a lot.. forgive if i am wrong but maybe if things get too boring to try and jump on a band wagon or go for a walk.. become the story.. dont let the story become you..

I like it and sometimes we can't get up and leave. You described it well and I like that you enjoy the time to think.
