Cardboard Boxes
Ainsley Swiger | 2026
I hate cardboard boxes; I can’t bear the blank, ugly beige. The sour stench of mildew and paper makes me sick, and I shriek at the shape. The cracking noise of the tape sealing the container’s coveted contents, sends shivers down my spine. The brushing of box upon box makes my eardrums bleed. My mind screams at the screeching tires of the shipment truck. I shudder at the Sharpies scribbling a foreign address onto every surface. I panic at the proliferating pile of packages, suppressing my past into nothing but a parcel. I loathe the loss of my memories as they’re left in a lackluster casket. My treasured time stowed in a bland bundle. I hate cardboard boxes.
