when the bolt won't budge

sometimes, no matter how hard
you try to unscrew
a bolt
off of some piece of machinery,
it won't budge.
all the muscle
and curse words
in you
have no shot at unloosening it.
you get the hammer out,
the chisel,
the wrenches.
the rarely used blow torch.
but it's not happening.
so you buy a new lawnmower
for your ten by ten
patch of yard.
