Make it new


Day one all the units - stuck
dented and cracked - came out
the oven at last euthanised
wallpaper steamed off
tiles levered loose like teeth

The attachments of years
brutalised within hours
laminate ripped without mercy

There was no problem with the sink but
it too was sacrificed for the cause
water off electric off
a chance to see what was under it all
pale old floor, naked walls
ventilation wounds

Water back electric back
the hammering stops and this
time next week you won’t
remember how it all used to be
