Looked in the mirror today
A human being, a living puzzle
Black hair flecked with grey
A map of lines and stubble

How we resemble
Porcelain smashed from shelves
And thus we assemble
The pieces of ourselves

The fragments, the glue, the Irony
Cradle to grave, through place and role
The fashioning. Of a parody
In attempt to remake, what never was whole

THIS is the best poem, in my opinion, I have ever read from you, Yann. It is deep and concentrated in the making of the whole. And yes, it ties in with my poem as you said it did.

Oh, I like this poem, Zal.
My fragments come in pieces. Reminds me,
I wrote one called Pieces.
Enjoyed, Ms. E

Very good Zall, if it ever was really whole in the first place.
However, I get what you're layin down here and I got one of those mirrors.

And that's Zall I got to say.
