In perfect congruency
Noisily ticking
Countdown to their own demise
As brass gears slowly corrode

Oooh, I love the storyline of these gears corroding and slowing down. It makes me wonder what will happen as a result of it. ^_^

Thank you! It was fun to try blending symbology and... Concreteness? IDK if I'm explaining it very well.

I like it! Also, funny enough I've seen the word "incongruent" before, but this is the first time for the base word. Β

Sorry for the slow reply, but thanks! Haha I think "incongruent"'s actually the real word, whereas the one I used is... Debatable
