Passengers
the things
that disappear
end up where
lids on boxes
are stacked
and shipped
and sent over seas
cargo, freight
loaded and unloaded
stamped: fragile
bubble wrapped
and taped twice
destination unknown
conveyer belt
drops the boxes
down
into the department
of shipping and handling
where all black boxes
go
to unload luggage
unnecessary at customs
the inspection is thorough
and complete
no weight
before departure
