Sears catalog

The furniture of my future life 
was in the Sears catalog
and built in Nike shoe boxes
dioramas of perfection

no cinder block bookshelves
no metal pipes, wood for a desk.

In this future there were f
lowery drapes, a pine desk
beds with curtains and four posts
dish sets matched the flour container
towels matched bed linen
toothbrush holder matched soap pump

All my dreams matched perfectly

Today
nothing matches,
no flowers, no pine

Just landscape
