High Maintenance

Some days you can read my face
Like a map:
Origami pressed
Into the glove compartment.

The creases creeping
Along the dead ends
And round-a-bouts
Speak volumes.

But the rest of the week
I am well contained:
A Japanese instruction booklet.
Only the images are universal
And half my screws are missing.

Don't be surprised
If I fall apart.
