MERE FRAGMENTS OF THE WHOLE

We are not a whole,

but mere fragments

of the whole,

fragment among

fragments scattered

in time and space,

& sometimes chance

throws us together

with other fragments

to combine

briefly into something

greater than mere solitary

pieces of the whole,

lonely and lost

in this wide, vast world.

Then we feel and see

ourselves as we could

and should be,

organs in the

body of humanity

made of flesh and mind.
