Unclaimed Freight

Unclaimed Freight

Just saw an ad for ‘unclaimed freight.’

If you have left any on my dock,

you may pick it up NOW.


Otherwise, it goes to that 

bigwarehouseinthenetherworld

that I don’t care to enter.


Fortunately or not, all my freight

is neatly bundled, labled, secured,

waiting for me to dispatch it to its rightful place.


The more obvious bundles

I have kicked off the dock;

others, not so obvious,

await their dispensation.

But back they go, one bundle at a time,

until my dock is clear.


I am out of the freight business.
