Shadow Couriers
by Laryalee Fraser (Age: 68)
copyright 08-02-2001


Age Rating: 18 to 127

 


Errand-running shadows nip my thoughts,
disturb my flow of passive reveries;
they clutch their parcels, take outlandish routes
to meet their claim of "fast deliveries".

I hear them huff-and-puffing close behind,
and try to find a niche where I can hide.
Their packages are filled with broken dreams --
too many times I've opened them, and cried.

I fabricate a detour sign and swerve
behind a pile of boulders near the road.
But it's no use. They spot me, and I scowl
to see the ugly contours of their load.

This time, I read the fine print on their forms.
Surprise! I'm not obliged to sign my name!
I give a saucy grin, a flippant bow....
and promptly send them back from whence they came!

What a nice ending to the race. Perhaps I'll be so lucky, eh?
