Cruising forklift
taking a sharp turn
too swiftly
the pallet shifts on the prongs
cartons rise in rebellion
against oppressive shrink wrap
the boxes plummet to the floor
forcing a swift break
everyone on the floor
looking at my blunder
so I get off the lift
I have a mess
of my own creation
requiring solution
a few boxes were dented
a few corners split
revealing lacy panties within
I don’t mind
sullying women’s undergarments
but this ranks
as one of poorer means
to accomplish that end
