The wiring is sparking, fizzing
Insulators worn away, metal exposed
Screws and bolts coming lose
Shaking apart
Everything coming unhinged
Joints stiff, scraping, creaking
No oil left
Lights winking out, blinking on and off
It’s all falling apart

Stitches pulling out
Fabric fraying
Stuffing spilling out of gaping holes
Threads splitting and coming undone
Losing buttons, no spares
Tears, rips, bursting seams
Loose string getting caught
Everything unraveling
It’s all falling apart

Cracks across the surface
Slowly crumbling
Turning into dust
Chipping, chipping, chipping
Paint peeling
Color long faded away
No glue can put it back together
Shattering, pieces breaking off
It’s all falling apart
