A Malfunctioning Defect

I thought I had built this well.
I thought this was fixed.
Quake-proof. But
this wasn't here
in the mirror, in the
morning.

It must be something I overlooked.
Something I didn't see.

Or something must have come loose.

Cause this leak on my face;
the one I had to check
in the mirror
just to make sure
it was there;
this must surely be
a mistake. This
must be a
malfunction;
a mal-
function-
ing d-
efect.
Cause only with a hole this big
could I have never realized
that all this time, I was
still standing in it.
