Getting ready to assemble the Amazon delivery
The manual lists the following:
38 screws, 35 mm long,
28 screws, 50 mm long,
8 screws, 15 mm long,
and 20 that are “adjustable,”
whatever that means.
If I unpack the cushions now,
they will recover from their vacuum pack,
cryogenically sealed bags
in about two hours.
I wonder what else I will unleashed
when I open those bags.
A stowaway vermin spreading death
like fleas on the backs of rats?
Unlikely, but I feel itchy.
“MADE IN CHINA” is stamped under “90lbs.”
On Amazon Prime Day,
the box encountered a
“delivery incident.”
I’m quite sure that means yesterday’s delivery guy
refused to wrangle the box off the truck.
Today’s guy, in a great fanfare
of untoward language and slamming of tailgates,
deposited the seen-better-days box
on my front stoop.
Now, all the parts spread out before me,
I wonder, what in the world was I thinking?!

Amen! : “whatever that means.”
My sentiments exactly! “Now, all the parts spread out before me,/I wonder, what in the world was I thinking?!”
I know, right? Now the game is afoot.
recovering cushions, vermin spreading death, refusing, slamming: I feel your consternation
