 Inside and Outside Upside-down Boxes

          You don’t have it
          unless you can get it

          down
          and outside in

          some kind of
          box.

                     —Rae Armantrout

 For heaven’s sake, our
 Lady’s called
 It, and quite at
 Pin
 Point!
 Everyone can agree, so
 Down to it, shall we?  Let’s get

 Petty with our pottery, our poops, our pity-parties and,
 Oh, our pumas and pompons.  The entire
 Lot of it!  This
 Year’s mostest-
 Hearted is already an
 Erstwhile
 Death-on-arrival, am I
 Right?
 Of course, I am.
 Now, what to do about it?

(Oh, come on,
 Us! We
 Tight-lipped,
-
 Overly tarty
 Faux pas in waiting gotta
-
 Dance just like all the
Oity t
Oity types, am I
 Right?  (Once again, I am!)  And that about
 S)ums it up from me.  Over & out.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
