Five Shiny Levers

Twice broken,
Thrice unnoticed,
The fourth vice I voted…
The most likely locust.

Might never measures,
What’s right of the weather.
Five shiny levers
Changed life forever.

I love the compactness of this, the repetition of syllables. Particularly voted/locust... that makes my brain very, very happy. I'm always a sucker for things with very tiny wordcounts, particularly when they're as well constructed as this.
