(no subject)
it would be nice to say we're more
but you and I are actually less than the sum of our parts.
And its not physics, since the mechanics are all there, everything in tip top shape
and still this machine called 'us' hisses and shakes most obnoxiously.
How am I to get close enough to touch, with your walls this high above my head?
I can't even reach your wheel, let alone turn it.
Besides, too much of you is still in the shop.
Even when you're near, stiff bricks and goo divide us
and I can't find the keys
I suspect you buried them, or threw them in a lake
the instant you saw me coming.
