New Replaces Old…

 

New Replaces Old

A new one arrives
Packaged in remarkable efficiency
Showing that it was not born 
Of craftsmen,
But rather engineered
Everything in its packaged place
So this means the old must go
The disassembly begins
The air of life is let out of it
The wrestling away the pieces
As the old, still with luster and shine
Vainly tries to resist, but loses
And becomes a carcass
Stacked in the garage…
The new is assembled, she of a modern style
The new functions no better than old
The new just sits there and looks pretty
As we breathe life into new 
And wonder what to do with old.
