salvage (Free verse) by ay deee
i love
taking things apart
phonographs
computers
televisions
blenders
compact disc players
electric space heaters
speakers
door closers
land cameras
toys
boxes
crates
couches
houses
watches
clocks
alarms
chairs
desks
lamps
drills
trucks
i like to lay
all the pieces
out in a neat
grid based shape
and just look
the problem
can be very apparent
with this clarity
the first thing i remember
taking apart:
my parents'
canon film camera
i must have been
quite young
i could not fix it
now i can fix
all manner of things
if i can't fix it
i take the
parts that look neat
or may have another use
screws
brackets
lenses
and wires
place them on
their respective sheles
and throw the
shit away
i have a hardware
collection
in pill boxes
and tool chests
my best friends are
phillips screwdriver
putty knife
needle nose and
hammer
because while i immensely
enjoy an ordered process
that is reversible
every once in a while
a good sledge is the only
way to process an appliance
