Jack In The Box

He's been alive for a short time
less than a hundred years.
Beans have been here longer,
in mason jars.

Three cheers.

The Queen ruled over countries
longer than he's been
but he will catch up slowly
now that she's in the wind.

He is the briefest moment
compared to Magna Carta,
city streets, the things
we seek,

ideas and books about us.

Many books about the queen
but none about this jewel
It's up to him, biographing,
to bury his time capsule.

For the archeologists!
The only ones will care
have heart attacks about buttons
sharp edged stones,

foot bones and kick back chairs?

Location is important
land fills will never do
slip it in a six foot hole
but near a landmark too.

In about ten thousand years
dug up and then displayed
Worker on Assembly Line
just trying to get paid.

Oh a brief example
how did we all survive !?
popping up! A shout-out!

We found the way this time.
