Have fun with these words: departure, discrimination, stall, dine, earthquake, look, dynamic and shoulder.

"Package in the Wind"


I blinked at the photo of an alien door, with
my package, and instead, "*Departure made,
then delivered," the screen said

No box, no note, no beep, no sign
No chance tonight that I can *dine

Not here but a phantom clear and Amazon's
chatbox offered a *dynamic cheer, not a real kiss,
and not why the delivery had to *stall and miss

No box, no note, no beep, no sign
No chance tonight that I can *dine

I took a quick *look for its place while neighbors
gave a "shoulder to my case, a *discrimination
cruel, as if an *earthquake shook the place

No box, no note, no beep, no sign
No chance tonight that I can *dine.

I pace the floor, thoughts turn black for I feel
the lack, but still cope and hope, in rain or sleet,
my package and I shall soon meet.

No box, no note, no beep, no sign
No chance tonight that I can *dine.

Here's What Happened:
True Story.
I ordered a package from Amazon, as I always do. and I'll be fair and say that Amazon has never disappointed me before.

The email I received as "delivered" has the photo of an alien doorway, not mine. And as much as I tried, I couldn't get through to Amazon. I'm still waiting and hoping that the people who live in the house with that door the package was delivered to will either bring it to me or send it back to Amazon.
