The little box gets her first teeth <br />And her little length <br />Little width little emptiness <br />And all the rest she has <br /> <br />The little box continues growing <br />The cupboard that she was inside <br />Is now inside her <br /> <br />And she grows bigger bigger bigger <br />Now the room is inside her <br />And the house and the city and the earth <br />And the world she was in before <br /> <br />The little box remembers her childhood <br />And by a great longing <br />She becomes a little box again <br /> <br />Now in the little box <br />You have the whole world in miniature <br />You can easily put in a pocket <br />Easily steal it lose it <br /> <br />Take care of the little box<br /><br />Vasko Popa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-box/
