Some Assembly Required Poem by Fred Rik Kesner

Some Assembly Required

'The Assembly Line'
(First line / Loop payoff)


It starts with an appetite we didn't build.

then asked why we were tired of standing still.

So we package the exhaustion,
call it aesthetic,
and post it before the feeling dies.
And by tomorrow morning—



(Loops back seamlessly to: 'It starts with an appetite...')
