This is the Age of

 

You are not whole unless you have been broken

at least a dozen times, but you must not

stay broken, no, you must build and break

and never stay whole for too long because

whole is so broken it’s boring.  But not just

boring, in this age it is unstylish.  Be discrete though,

do not flaunt your flakes of broken selves for all

eyes to spy, keep them close for the kindred kind of

people on the inside of your life, otherwise you

run the risk of fabricating failure and bull

shit brokenness that might lose you everything even

if you really are smashed to pieces of nothing

larger than a crumb.  In this age of faces and far-

flung places we’re ripe for the races but what if

what we bring together cannot hold under public

scrutiny, making our whole bodies broken vessels

for souls in private mutiny?
