Leather Sofas In a Hotel Lobby

There’s a rushing of water somewhere
out
east. But it’s of no matter, I’m not
quite sure of its purity. The impurity does
give it some flavor though, doesn’t it.
If we were flawless, would we
even know?

If you go on the belief that flawless=perfection then no we wouldn't know because we wouldn't know imperfection or having flaws. Right?

Yeah, but even if we were flawless, we could invent flaws that don't exist, Right? So perfection itself could be flawed,in our eyes, kind of like the opposite of rose-colored glasses.

I dont know.
Thanks for the ideas, Alex. Enjoyed, yet again.

i think if we were flawless we wouldnt take the chance and "drink" of it. we would know to stay away or we would decide to "drink" and then we would no longer be flawless

how did you break my heart when it wasn't whole to start?

"But it’s of no matter, I’m not

give it some flavor though, doesn’t it."

I might rephrase this, m'self, because the logic is well, flawed.

I think I would change the second sentence to state:

"An impurity would give it some flavor though, wouldn't it."

because the first sentence acknowledges no knowledge of purity or impurity.

But then, that's just me.

smile...it wouldn't matter to me if I'd been deemed perfect. A true obsessive-compulsive, I'd polish anyway.

Much enjoyed this.
