Erosions
the chaffing entropy
of self-maintenance
combing human features
into land-slips
predestined by its engineering
an electric screwdriver
skitters away
from its moving parts
dishes in the sink
soap suds wearing away
willow patterns
a domestic maintenance
erodes ceramic bones
they grow thin and break
replaced by tougher plastic bandages
we dry our hands
notice it is evening
turn on a vintage
hundred year old lamp
few things live longer
than times short shelf-life
