let's pretend that this makes sense.
break down - buy new.
next is better next is better.
next is overdue.
intended obsolescence
breaks down - time flew.
next is better next is better.
get the next new you.
take something strong -
put it to good use.
keep it running keep it running.
it was passed down to you.
repair and maintenance
oil - replace screws.
keep it running keep it running.
pass it down, too.
relationships with tools echo others.
the need work to make them last.
not living for just first thrill.
fade - turn to trash.
our tools are mostly idol -
not used.
they don't create anything
or connect me to you.
even with care, things we make
won't last long.
but i'll hand you the tools i have
before i'm gone.
