the machinery of living

i don't trust
elevators, or escalators,
or
buses,
or trains.
i worry in a car, not
trusting
the tires.
i feel that machines
will let
me down
at some point.
the furnace will die.
batteries
will lose power,
lights will go out,
things i have no control
over will strand me,
throw
off my day, my stride,
my life.
somewhere
you fit into this too.
