The Broken Mug

by farhan

I have few mugs Porcelain mugs All alike, same in color I pick one and prepare coffee Cannot distinguish the one used before All were alike, same in color I wish to make one my favorite But any mark I make would be artificial How I wish? A natural mark would separate one Today I observed one with a slight difference A minor crack at the brim The mugs are washed A mishandle would have caused It is not ugly It is no less useful Naturally made, just a slight crack Now both useful and notable It is now my favorite mug

True for humans isn't it? We are all usually alike. A slight inconsistency separates us from the crowd. So long as we are useful and and not ugly from within.
