guaranteed for life.

i'm eating noodles
trying to keep my eyes on the television

but my eyes are drawn towards the sewing machine
an old relic

it smells like the seventies
and runs like a beat up buick

the sticker on it reads
'guaranteed for life'

.

beautifully designed thoughts

[the needle]

ears that welcome words

like the embracing arms of a long time lover

[the thread]


i wish love
was this sewing machine
