move it to the left a little

i don't want
to put anything together anymore.
don't bring me
a desk
in a box, or shelves,
or a chair, please.
i no longer want to
turn nuts and bolts,
cams and screws into
wood,
or pretend wood.
i don't want to read directions,
and use a flashlight
to decipher the small
print
in six languages.
i don't want to search
for tools
to attach
the left leg, part A,
to the right board,
part B.
i want my furniture
whole,
carried in by two strong
men,
or women,
up the stairs
and positioned against
the wall
where i want it, 
or maybe
six inches to the left
where i can look out
the window 
if snow begins
to fall.
