put it over there, in that corner

i'm surprised by
the weight of things, or lack
of weight.
the mind
waits a split second to figure
out the pounds
of what you're
about to lift
off the ground.
this enormous plant pot,
for instance.
full of dirt
and dead leaves.
which muscles will i use?
will i bend
the knees, will i grunt and groan?
and once
it's in my arms,
will someone quickly tell me
where to set it, please.
