Lego Building

For Celeste

dump the contents of the bucket
out on to the bedroom carpet

turn your doll’s bed upside down
to create a flat building surface

consult with your co-creator
decide on today’s custom build

divide tasks fairly and evenly
lay down the baseplates

create separate piles of pieces
organized by colour, sift

and rake through the big pile
looking for green, brown, tan

grey, blue and white pieces
set all mini-figures aside

combine Friends, Harry Potter
and Star Wars sets together

into new creations, organized
according to new principles

throw away the instruction

manuals, listen to inspiration

create your own new world
built upon your own dreams
