Splinters

How, if at all

do you repair a broken mirror

if you can't stand to see

the reflection?

Picking up the fragments

leaves splinters and cuts

and of course,

you've run out of bandaids

whats easier,

gritting your teeth

and shoving it all together

or

running into a bare wall.

Is either really better than the other?
