I ordered an item online and the box arrived with what looked like a poem scribbled on it with a black ballpoint pen:
I’ve gone to Lukin’s
I’ve got a spot at Lukin’s
I’m going to Lukin’s
Open the fridge Never thought
life would be this way.
At first I was delighted to have some sort of mysterious verse penned on my box. I imagined some unknown poet somewhere sending off impromptu fragments inscribed on cardboard to unknown recipients. But then I poked around a bit and found these cryptic lines turn out to be lyrics from a Pearl Jam song, which gives me the creeps since the last lines read:
I find my wife. I call the cops. This day’s work’s never done.
The last I heard the freak was purchasing a fucking gun.
Yikes. Bored worker jotting down lyrics on packaging materials in a warehouse, iPod buds in ears? Disgruntled UPS worker? Odd neighbor scribbling on boxes in the mailroom? My imagination goes haywire.
that IS creepy.
