Lifetime Performance

Don't worry,
this thing is warranteed.
When I look at the assembly
of springs and gears
so tentative. Don't worry,

this will be renewed no matter
if it dissociates and even
when the problem can't be found,
someone strong will come, gently
ease me aside, earn my trust,
beat back mysteries, replace parts
and make it run again.

Thinking about repairs
draws the poetry right out of me.
sometimes my life
does just that,
leaving me safe but
eternally uncertain.
