"When they are just too heavy to carry I become stronger than is possible and carry on." -Rachel Zucker, from Museum of Accidents

No Trace

I sold off my house

and bought an enormous

cardboard box

in this box

I started placing

all the things

that shaped me

my first pair of shoes

my high school diploma

my parents and friends

I went to the backyard

of my childhood home

and began digging

with a hand shovel

the house wasn’t haunted

so I placed that in the box

as well

I’ll keep digging until

I can bury this box

with me in it

lots of people call this

a time capsule

I call this my funeral
