I Wish I Was Your Favorite Broken Chair

stuffed into the corner of an attic
waiting for the day you have the time
for a bit of carpentry

just this one leg-
a little wood glue
a little maintenance
a little love

why is that so hard to find?

don't you remember?
the dinners?
the card games?
the summer night
you brought me outside for beers by a fire?

just think of all the other  memories
we could be collecting if
i wasn't up here
collecting dust

but
i suppose
you have plenty
of other chairs
and don't need
me
to keep making memories
