it fell apart <br />like garment worn <br />til torn and thread bare, <br />full of rents, <br />broken seams, like promises <br />and what remained <br />so hard to mend. <br /> <br />and yet it was <br />my favorite. <br />i wore it every day <br />until... <br />it fell apart again, <br />the same. <br />it seems as if <br />it always will. <br /> <br />intrinsic error <br />in design, <br />inherant flaw <br />within the cloth. <br />perhaps i'll put it <br />on the shelf, <br />to entertain <br />some hungry moth.<br /><br />moon batchelder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/it-fell-apart/
