"Epoxy"

Filthy on everything
he was
a stripped bolt hole
unscrewable now

epoxy for the wounds
they come and go

what goes on behind his garages?

sorry broken zerk
grease jobs over races

guess he’s a shadow
of younger versions 
that follow
in and outta here

lads switching the same era bikes
he was trapped in the fad loop
break fix break fix

the wear follows
the engine goes
it’s the only thing he knows

muffling to himself
break fix break fix

eccentric to the wall sweat
does the metal talk back? 
will it ever?
