Ikea Boy



You swapped woodchip
and plyboard for

Scandanavian pine
and rag rolls.

But it's still all just a
clear perspex ball

with air holes that
you run around

someone elses front room
as if you were so important

because all their eyes
are on you.

But they don't watch you
because they love you,

they watch you because
they want to know what

tack they can feed you
with next: Sucker!
