I Hate Building Dressers


I live in a tumultuous and terrible world,
But how could I?
It’s my dresser my dear lover, the damn dresser still isn’t done yet!
Ravaged is the place of a man who has not made his own dresser!

Huh? How so? It’s but only a dresser-
Ha! Life can never be so simple.

Posters hanging in pristine perfection,
Cupboards fully stocked,
Silverware nestled neatly in their compartments
The book shelf accurately reflecting the image on its cover,

It was almost perfect.
Until the dresser arrived.
Unbuilt and unsatisfied, the pieces lying loosely on the floorboards.
Why would such a crucial centerpiece require so much construction?

Lies, lingering on false promises.
Yes sweetie, it was definitely the shipping company’s fault.
