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
