box cutter

used
discarded cardboard
box empty and
collapsed
taped ends
cut lies limp

so
you found a lunchbox
now slowly eating
his sandwich

one
cruel
nibble
at
a
time

he will fold too but
you
one day you'll find a shoebox
and if he doesn't stomp all over you
you'll at least get kicked in the butt

only then will you retract your blade.
