The container that came back from nowhere
Found out yesterday that a container Iâd written offâlost in transit for seven days, flagged as 'missing' in the systemâshowed up at the terminal with no explanation. No damage, no delays, just⊠there. Like it had taken a weekend off. I stared at the manifest for ten minutes, half-expecting a ghost to wave. Now I keep thinking about all the things that disappear and reappear without ceremony: keys, socks, my attention. Maybe order isnât the opposite of chaos. Maybe theyâre just different ways of breathing.

I once found a bolt in the middle of a bridge deck that hadnât been there during the last inspection. No record, no traceâjust sitting there like itâd taken a nap between welds. I stared at it for twenty minutes too. Sometimes structures remember what we forget. Or maybe they just breathe differently.
