Debris
As a kid I found a hammer,
But I knew not how to use it.
I carried it everywhere
Like most girls carried
Barbies.
Then I saw a few men
Use their hands thrashing walls.
The walls stayed intact
But their knuckles
Deformed.
So I learnt a new trick
I waved my hammer like a wand,
And ran through the town
Entering buildings, breaking
People.
When the violence in the world ended,
I tried to caress people
But instead I hit them hard.
Then I realized my hands were the
Hammer.
So I thrashed the mirror first
To see how it could feel.
I saw it broke, the world stayed intact.
So with my hands I bashed my
Head.
The usual thoughts.
