Done It Myself Blues
The manual explains in detail
what steps to take to build back a better life,
I have patched-up parts, and glued together
some bent-bones, there are screws loose
and missing,
some rewiring is required -- I'm not qualified.
My non-physical bits,
float around or zip here and there;
all are hard to grasp.
A broken brain cannot analyze the problem,
too many tools are wrong size specifications,
this has led to an un-wrench-able
mental constipation.
I have complained to Ikea,
have returned all the useless parts of myself,
and the rest of me just sits around rusting.
