weight

it’s the weight
of the thing,
  the freight
      of it,
            the shipping
                    container
                           magnitude
                                     of the baggage
                                            on my back
                                                   that drags me
                                                            down
                                                                to my
                                                                         knees
                                                                and i
                                                                can’t
                                                                get out from
                                                                under.

can’t i?
