Is Love Delivered by UPS?

Wishing You and Yours a Happy and Holy Prime Day

All the empty boxes won’t go away

So I’m burning them outside after the rain

Automatic gunfire from the next road over

And is there a meaning in all of this?

We have mail-order cameras to protect

All the mail-order things that we don’t need

From the neighbors firing off rounds at dusk

Maybe at a menacing metaphor

All wants are now delivered to a home address -

And is love delivered by UPS?
