Sprocket is a poem written by Kevin Rein and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme Disenchanted for the month of May
Sprocket
I don’t need fixing
I heal on my own
I screw back my screws
Smash back my nails
Through the years
I have mastered stitching back my stitches
Plastering back my cracks
Gluing back as many pieces as I can
And I need no one to hand me my tools
I need no care to run my machine
I work on my own
So I’m sturdier when my someone comes
Someone I can exchange sparks with
As we grow old
Someone I fixed myself for
Who owns my last piece
Someone I can connect my gears with then we ignite together
Some way
One day
