Think...Outside the Box


"Outside the Box"
13" x 16" acrylic on canvas
2013

"This afternoon
in my grade level meeting
I must be prepared to
"think outside the box."

Right now
I'm remembering
the painstaking effort it took
to get in the box
in the first place.

Will there be applause
when we emerge?
Will the applause gratify us
the way the gasps of disbelief did
when we tucked our
last body
part
in?"

Poem by Mary Lee Hahn
