We ate broke

We ate broke
It started as a mistake
But grew as an idea
Forget steak and beer
Eureka! Eat fear

Broken as anything
Missing essential parts
Earmarked for discarding
Promising false starts with disaster
Believe it! We deliver faster

A thousand breaking shards
Looking more like art
Impact head on
Sending cards and spoiled sport
We burn forts

Break into song
Or silent celebration
Light a match and let it loose
Turn vocation into fuse
Don't let life choose

Instead, be a parting dead dawn noose
