A Parcel In A Coffin Poem by Ponniah Ganeshan

Suddenly, I have become a parcel in my dream
Bundled up to be sent somewhere,
Being confined with contents
I could not see the address above
Written.

Where am I to be taken and delivered?

I shouted and shouted for no one listened
I felt that someone taking me somewhere.

Being detained into the parcel
I felt as if I was in prison
Having disappeared and removed
out of my environ
For reason unknown

I was then taken hither and thither.
In a coffin, shouldered by four men
Two in front and two behind
Finally I am undelivered
and returned to my address
