[2020] This box of mine

is confining
  
What happens next?  
   
Thinking outside of it  
just leads to another box  
I'll have to think outside of  
   
Tell me when the boxing ends  
   
Tell me I will eventually arrive  
---find myself within in a box    
having a floor, walls, and ceiling  
that I can finally call,  
   
Home  
   
where I can parade    
around the squared circle    
in my silky shorts  
with a glass of wine  
retired from this bloodsport  
---handful of remaining teeth  
intact to enjoy the cheese
