what should we box
wasted sweets in giant socks
uncountable gold, silver coins
shiny colourless rocks
billions saved from wasting lights
pieces of junk causing unthinkable fights
money spared of expensive hangings
unwanted gifts, lingerie, leggings

having more and more, cleaning entire stores
of those things we’ve bought, unwittingly sought
a day of reckoning what could have been
a generous giving yesterday should have been
humanity matters possessions certainly not
what a wonderful bleary weak afterthought!
