but I am the brakes
hiding behind these
wheels…
pads wearing thin
and making scary
squeals!
and I am corrosion
hiding inside gun
barrels…
they’ll be singing
regrets soon, instead
of christmas carols!
in this unit I call
home base…
my rusty roadwheel
betrays this
no—pm place.
but in this
unit they
just clown
around…
no matter
how much I
scold and
hound!
I am the truck
with the tear-
away brace…
wing lug gets
loose, spare
tire’s gone
without
a trace.
I am the
“what”
when they say,
“what’s
that sound?”
and I am the
shock
when
someone forgets to ground!
bacteria!
mold!
this
is really
keen.
white ‘n purple,
slimy green!
while our parts
turn rusty—brown…
…readiness ratings
are sure going down!
