When do we start

When do we start

To fall apart

Inbuilt obsolescence

New cells old cells

Dying to remember

The reason for division

When all that was renewed

Was condemned

To be destroyed

For reasons of health

And safety

When the decrepit

Among us

Is revealed to be

Only a moment away

From unravelling

As operating systems

Fail to connect

Parasympathetic

Reactions to an event

Enzymes

Creating a log jam

Of misfires

Too severe

To circumvent

Unstable structures

Teetering on the verge

Of collapse

As higher functions

Struggle to mediate

A resolution

There is constriction

A narrowing of interest

In survival

As inertia

Becomes a mechanism

Undermining change

Indolence

Accelerates the rate

Of decay

Until all that was created

Modified

And replicated

Is depleted

Nothing ends

It is re-purposed

Into something more useful

Than an inefficient

Work station

A misrepresentation

Of a preoccupation

With the nature

Of humanity

When in the end

It all falls down.
