shipping tags:
blank manila card
reinforced
hole for string –
this box of one thousand for
as many journeys

Springed Out
and now gone Disrolled.
Busted off
too-tight Tight
for Detwistification
and then Laid-Out Flat.

Guillotine:
Cardboard awaits. You
are hungry
for a slice.
Corrugated cellulose.
Your favorite meal.

I always love your words
Thank you. I think I have millions of them and ideas and thoughts and so on that have been stored up all my life and finally getting out.
Thats great news for the readers, an unlimited supply!
I love using the guillotine. That sharp chop is so satisfying. I wonder when we stopped using those manila shipping tags? I still have a small stack of them actually that I use for gift labels but I have not seen them used for parcels in many decades now.
I think for shipping, I remember them in my childhood. And so many times attached to items such as furniture, or the like, in stores. I also remember seeing them used in my early days working for the bank, when I would visit customers and they would often have inventory tagged in the warehouse with them.
