Mechanical
This is how it works:
From underneath, the hook grabs the eye
And pulls the chain through the loop.
This forces the small, rough parts to collide and spark,
Thereby starting the pistons which
Drive the small motor which
Powers the weaving device that smoothly creates a textile
That wraps around the wheel-edge and creates a strong, tight canvas
On to which the magnifying glass, at only this certain time, captures the rays of sun
And concentrates them to burn through the fabric
Which then, torn, springs open with such force that
A small gong is hit by a nearby-attatched mallet
Which is just enough vibration to move the tiny, balancing pyramid of miniature wine glasses
That shatter directly on to a mortar and pestle (mechanised)
Which then grinds the glass down to roughly the consistency
Of smooth, soft sand
Which then is poured through a thin vein of tube
To trickle on to and weigh down one side of the see-sawing scale,
Which pulls down and thus also pulls the hook,
Which grabs the eye and pulls the chain to begin again this elaborate machine
That I have built because I do not know how to build love,
And in trying I have built this, for you, instead.
