Irish Deconstructionism

Cardboard chest of drawers
assembled without
the plan and it worked

fine--well, in its flimsy way.
Then I decided that outward-
facing tabs should toe in,

ideally. But in correcting,
found when tab A connected,

tab B popped out,
vice versa & etc etc.

& oh well you know
the whole middle class

cheapskate drill--
& its tortures.

By this sweaty time a rip
manifested itself,
minor, hardly showing.

Who could have said this
infinitesimal flaw

would lead to the frenzied
destruction of the entire

objet d’art in-
to the smallest
possible pieces?
