The Problem With Perfection
Apr 26, 2022
Is there such a thing as Perfection?
Is it a sweet confection?
Or an innocent deception?
We strive to achieve
what our minds can conceive
as the ultimate beauty and design,
but minute flaws gyrate
across the slate
and during the process of elimination
we discover in our frustration
that without the striations,
cracks and abrasions,
we may hold the perfect tool
but find we’ve messed up the jewel.
