It Never Stood a Chance

a bucket with a pinhole
is destined to fail. but it
will try and try and try to
make you proud, to keep
you from regretting having
ever purchased it. after
all, how can you hold a
grudge against something
that knows no other
existence except one that
is flawed? please be forgiving,
won't you? it will never leave
you. it could never abandon
you. it will have no choice but
to become your closest
ally.
