It doesn’t do what it did


It doesn’t do what it did 



It doesn’t do 

what it did 


you’ve tried 

to fix it 


now you want 

to get rid of it 


people will look 

at its condition 


and they’ll 

underbid it 


so you stay 

with it 


resenting 

its presence


yet you can’t think of it 

as broken 


as you live in the past 

as much as the present
