I’m gonna drag you through the cleaners

wonder if “deep clean” can fix your mess

can I bleach the grime and rust away?

when is the last time you used this thing?

or gave it some fresh air

or took it out for a spin

or felt anything at all

It’s a shame to let it waste away in here

does it even still work?

WD-40 and duct tape should get it going

… It explains a lot though

you’ve been reckless

apathetic

the world doesn’t exist

So, you’ve kept it locked up in here.

too long

let it waste and decay

No worries though

I can get the stains out.

I’ll drag you through the cleaners.
