Peccadillos

We all have 
that one thing 
which undermines all 
else rendering us 
helpless for me
it’s two actually 
a cardboard box 
requiring flaps folded 
and one tucked 
and my heart 
why it prefers 
to dangle upon 
my sleeve exposed 
to everyone confuses
me I guess 
that I’m no
good at closing 
things up and 
keeping them safe
