A Cargo Cult

 

Conversations are about packages

Packages considered, packages ordered

Packages delivered and packages stolen

Packages as the cosmic medium of exchange

 

Conversations are about packages

Packages that give meaning to our lives

Packages pinched by plundering porch pirates

Packages snatched by maskers in masks

 

What is it all about? the thinker asks -

What if the packages are filled with

                                                           masks?
