It’s Not
If you don’t care how
I don’t care how. So be warned
right now in this place
That’s how it’s going to be.
It’s not much. I know it’s not.
Place it in a bag
tie it shut with cut string ends
you’ve knotted together
that’s how we have to do it.
It’s not much. I know it’s not.

Very intriguing. I want to know what is in the bag. It seems like something both portentous and insignificant at the same time.
Thank you. I always think when someone says, it’s not much, it really is. Whether it is good or bad, that is another story.
