The balance machine | 1 |
helps you hold on | 2 |
to the best moments of your life | 3 |
with proficient grace. | 4 |
| |
Its oiled cogs and fluent flywheels | 5 |
mean no more obliteration of moments | 6 |
when life was a dive in the cherry bowl, | 7 |
or having to ask another what you did | 8 |
in order to recall that crucial time. | 9 |
| |
Press its golden button | 10 |
and the balance machine | 11 |
strikes perfect timing. | 12 |
Goodbye to getting stuck | 13 |
at a point in the argument | 14 |
when outpourings of bile and venom | 15 |
corrode the tender carapace of your mind. | 16 |
| |
The balance machine ensures | 17 |
that only the sweet kiss of reconciliation | 18 |
remains instead, and though not unscathed, | 19 |
you appear to outside world at least, | 20 |
untarnished. | 21 |
