collecting parts like
broke down cars,
and shattered toys
or a guitar string wound

pushed back and
affixed to anything shiny and new-
if it glistens in the sunlight
and looks nice under the moon-

and don't let anyone look under.
if it hurts but it works, beware your time.
carbon takes copper, like i'll take to mine.
