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.
