#98

Pandora resents her parents
for the name they threw upon her.
She wears it on a pin badge
lest they ever forget
why she binned her favorite jewellery case.
                        And how
she's never invited to birthdays
because presents makes her nervous.

These days she sleeps, closed,
as Schrodinger's cat -
          wanting them guessing.
If she's in one box, she reasons
then she won't open another.
