a desk rises

she's mechanical.
with her tool belt on.
her flash light
her flat head driver
phillips too.
a hammer.
and glue.
casters askew,
pegs and screws.
the directions spilled
across
the floor of her room.
in no time,
a desk rises
from a slew of pieces,
solid
and clean ready
for her work,
for her elbows to lean.
