The Broken Past

Jabberwocky

 

When you break something you can put it back any how you like.
Maybe you think it looks better that way.
Problem comes when you try to sell it to someone.
This thing your trying to sell me is covered in cracks,
and these bits don't belong at all and those should be over there.
The overall shape is wrong.
I see your artistic vision,
but it just doesn't have the right parts.
It lacks balance.
It lacks grace.
I liked it the way it was.
Can you break it again?

      Thanks Goldfinch.
      The past is mutable, hard to make sense of it. Sometimes lying helps unfortunately, for a while at least.
