New
and Used
We're
held together
with
duck tape and baling wire,
scotch
tape and bobby pins.
Our
broken hearts patched with denim
and
stitching not shown
to
the outside world.
The
screws are loose, joints coming undone,
tied
together with shoelaces, joined
with
rubber cement and sealing wax.
It's
a wonder we function at all.
