In IKEA at the End of the World
Mary Boo Anderson
I’m eating 2 veggie dogs at IKEA
And it’s empty
Bc it’s the end of the world
Wandering thru the display room maze
Goldilocks trying every couch, bed and chair
The thrill! To own everything
In a house that’s not yours
Sexily sulking in so many different banal interiors
Swedish design with a penchant for gentle placation
I didn’t make this bed
But I’m lying in it!
The world is over wah-wah
Paws to eyes, lips to chin
It’s possible that the Princess
Felt the pea under all of those mattresses
Bc there was nothing else to feel
