things to do with a hammer

hang a picture
and if you are lucky find the right
place the first time

build a bookshelf
just a step above the cinder block
bookshelves you built in college
though they served their purpose
for years

drive a nail head into a surface
and wonder how the nail head
manages to rise out and snag the sweater
your wearing as you move beside the surface

pound a finger often your thumb
when you meant to hit a nail
sure the nail head is small
though you were certain you had your eye
on it

hang lights on your porch
add a festive touch make sure the spacing
works for the space and add the ambiance
you’ve always dreamed of
