What Does Broken Look Like?

 


What does broken look like 

When there are no fragments of glass on the floor 

And there are no cracks in the wall? 

 

What does broken look like 

When the meals are made 

And the house is clean? 

 

What does broken look like 

When the music still plays 

And the artwork is bright? 

 

What does broken look like 

When greetings are cheerful 

And smiles are unwavering? 

 

Perhaps it looks like the man on the subway 

The woman in the grocery store 

The child on the school bus. 

 

Perhaps it looks like the clerk in the convenience store 

The receptionist in the dentist office 

The server in the restaurant. 

 

So much invisible pain 

So many invisible people 

So few glances in the mirror.
