Stay home all the time!
The poster promised. So I went in.

The place had a shelf of CD-ROMs
And a perforated bluish plastic box

And an exit sign. So I went out.
It was storming pretty bad.

It wasn't like this before
I went into the all-in-one

Home goods store so I went
Back in and sat down. Wet socks:

I disapprove. Given this, the decision
To leave seemed mildly irresponsible.

I thought about it, then I thought
Around it, under it, near enough

To it to become friends with it.
All the while— — —butterflies

Liquified and restructured flawfully
Inside the perforated bluish plastic box.

Prior to their final ascension
Each butterfly got to choose a CD-ROM.

They were all capable of burning
Seventy-four minutes of music.
