Thumbtacks
bobbypins
hairties
pillows
and blankets

“Alright
we better get start
the sun is going down”

We reach
for the softness
and grabbing the
alligator like pins

Click click click,
we sew the
fleece together
It’s now as long as
the sea

Carefully reaching
for the thorns
of the art world
Now stitching them
into the pure softness

Ouch ouch
the blankets
scream
as we pin them
to the painted
concrete

Now they
drape out
like rapunzel’s
golden locks

We open
the mouth
of the cozy
hut of warmth

Pillows galore,
placing them
one by one

Until it’s all perfect
we rest our heads,
while being on
our phones,
until dusk

But suddenly,
the whole
thing
comes crashing down

Noooooo,
we have spent
months on this
fort

Then it
hit us
We didn’t use
enough pins

Listen to me,
don’t put
all your eggs
in one basket
