Not Working

(a parody of "the becoming")


my washing machine
its broken, see
repairs cost a fee
clothes stuck in the wheel
it is broken now
it isn't working

the washer i use
it had some trouble spots
its covered with dust
it is broken and more
the washer i use
doesn't spin around much
that old machine
doesn't work anymore

all clothes disappear
its the nature of
my old washing thing
drowns out all my socks
no escape from this
it must now be fixed

the washer i use
used to have tubing
but the water stopped pumping
and i let it decay
the washer i use
is now made up of wires
when i kick it with my shoe
it stops right away

i've tried to give it away but i just can't win
i've tried to scrap away the thing of my fears
i've tried to throw away all of its bad parts
i've tried to smash it but it will not yeild

:::sweet strumming of broken circuts and wires of washing machine:::

spinning backwards inside of it
my clothes all shred away
dammit, drill the screw in tighter
maybe the side will perhaps stay

it won't get fixed with 50 dents
goddamn this washer in my basement
it won't get fixed with 50 dents
goddamn this washer in my basement

it won't get fixed with 50 dents
goddamn this washer in my basement
