Lots of intrigue in this one. I love how something so ordinary as a box on a kitchen table becomes a gateway for mystery. The unopened box and the foreign headlines provide the tension that leave us with a feeling of anxiousness. Nice Michael.
Great haiku; shades of SE Asia!

The box is actually opened (unpacked).
Interesting. It's like
A few things certain
A few ascertained
Life is all about present.
Intriguing, Michael. This felt like someone who has just arrived in a new environment where everything is strange.
