Stuck in Freedom

Stalwart providers of liquid sustenance
Impassive servants of neutral countenance
Corporate slaves dispensing relief
For conditioned slaves of filtered air.

Side-by-side, the partners in time
Look increasingly soiled; blind usage -
Until one day the splash-protecting shutter
Spluttered and ground and stuck half-way.

A torrent of beeps screamed "service me!
My brother still serves quite seamlessly.
One small adjustment, I can please you again
Avoiding gruff rudeness and tussling men."

In grey uniforms, our routine is now upset
One more procedure to deal with the stuckness.
But then one day, with seamless routine
As if stuckness was all the shutter had been...

Acceptance, how could we deal with smooth flowing
Shutters, little seeds of ideas we're sowing:
That if stuck shutters can give character to the day
May stuck shutters  be the universal way?
