CONSUMERIST HEART STRINGS





was in ikea heading to checkout
  before getting the meatballs

when an 80p reject-shelf small steel pot 
  of dubious usefulness 
    tugged at my heart strings

it tugged at my heart strings
  like the 
   charity shop 
    own-brand 
     last-one 
      doorstop-hare
  tugged at our heart strings

he was worn / he was frayed

no discount was allowed

    so we left him
but then couldnt leave him
    & we bought him

he holds the back door ajar now

for
the
foxes
to
follow
the
cats
in

steel pot gone awol
