Damaged goods

Your box arrived today,
so long anticipated.

How carefully you’d searched, specified,
what you needed.

Making sure,
what you signed for -

matched your dreams perfection.

Fragile,
it said.

Inside, waiting -
was your prize.

Life has its funny ways - surprises sprung.
The box,

broken,
note affixed.
