Ikea Summer
It started off flat and heavy,
The weight of it nearly crushed us-
This wasn't what we asked for,
Where's the joy?
The 8 practical applications
of our mouths and hearts?
We pulled and tugged at it,
The malleable tension breaking as we did,
We broke it into its lowest common denominator.
Perplexed and bemused,
We stared at cardboard cut outs
Of what used to be our lives.
We clicked the pieces together,
Catching our fingers, catching ourselves,
Sucking on them to reduce the anguish.
We fought, tooth and nail,
Nail and screw - We screwed it all,
And just -
Just as we were about to give up,
SCREW IT ALL,
We found the elusive missing piece.
I'd gone nuts and you bolted,
But we managed to tie it all back together
Into a neat and somehow strong package.
The hip bone connected to the,
A side of piece 3d with screw x and washer 9.
We fit together again...
After all of the pain, we bloomed,
and left the Springs and screwdrivers,
and enjoyed our Ikea Summer.
