what is this hammer doing here

yesterday the drawer was closed

paperclip, rubberband, thumbtack, wire

what are we building

there aren’t the right parts

no that’s the wrong word

the right ingredients

no not that either

something here is not in the right place

not in the right place at all

cycle

season, chapter, word

none of this is making sense

assemble layers

paint on adhesive

hope that sticks

it all together
