The Package

The package came today
it was small
insured
and expected.

There was no surprise
When I saw the address
the handwriting
neat like the text on a diploma.

Still I tore it open,
and put the pieces on my front seat.
Inside a red box
once given in love.

I put it in my coat pocket
and sat on it at work
now it's in my sock drawer
what else can you do with a ring?
