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?
