The Sound of Metal Braking to No Avail
Imagine what was a wall,
covered in twisted metal
and oil and filth and dust;
the tracks still in tact,
for they must be.
They must.
Play it backwards,
you will see,
the potential lives
I used to seize.
Play it forward,
close your eyes;
here comes the wreck,
here come the cries.
And *******!
It can't get worse.
I said, ‘*******!
Rewind this curse.’
*******! *******!
We’d best reverse.
And *******!
We've all seen worse.
I swear, *******!
Just stop the hearst.
*******! *******...
This can’t get worse.
*******.. *******..
this is no first.
