Imperfection.

Look out at a new morning
Note the sweltering heat of the sun
Look at a beautiful painting
Notice a hair caught in the paint
See a model walking down the street
Note a zit on her chin
See a man spreading Christ’s word
Slap some girl’s ass
Watch a couple kiss on a park bench
Then see the man rush off,
To pick up his sick wife from the hospital
Watch the leaves change color
Note that they’re actually dying,
Breaking at the stems,
They crumble on the ground perfectly
