Pieces to Assemble

Tall. Charming. You make me laugh.

A pig. Always on the go. Are you ever serious?

Kind. Musical. You honestly care.

Naive. Sheltered. Are you ever spontaneous?

Oh, if only

You two came in pieces

Parts packaged carefully 

Individually wrapped in bubble wrap

Maybe with plastic peanuts as well?

and accompanied by an instruction manual

That stated to assemble you

as I please

That would be marvelous dear

To pick and choose

the good pieces

and to lay the less desirables 

on the floor

for the dog to chew and drool on

A pre-ordered, mixed batch

of talents and characteristics

based on my score from the test

Ones that should already match 

my personal interest

(If I filled the form out right)

But since those thoughts are fantasy

I guess I have to toss the both of you

and resume my wait
