The Shift's True Ledger
A witness poem by Josef Hammer written as a docket: batch numbers, a weighbridge ticket, gloves in size XS, nine respirators stamped deficient.
Dawn on the loading bay; stone dust lifts.Slab: batch STN-14, HS 6802 stamped.Weighbridge ticket lists eight cutters, net 2.3 t.PPE crate includes gloves, size XS.Sugar pallet: estate 17, lot 04–21 stencilled.Heat log shows red; Brix 22 on the slip.Boot rack holds size 1 pairs, mud-white.Tally board marks the pick by crate.Battery cartons scan; cobalt MSDS on the cage.Line log notes coughs. Nine respirators stamped deficient.Final entry: strap cuts; the seal holds.The roller shutter drops. The lock seats.
