Array ( [sid] => 102730 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Perfectly Imperfect [time] => 2005-08-05 08:02:58 [hometext] => This is a very mutated tanka. It's about how no one's perfect, not even the people that go under the knife and have doctors reshape and remold every part of their body. No one's perfect. We're just human, and that should be good enough... [bodytext] => As imperfect as I,
You could only hope to be --
Perfect imperfection,
The only good side to me --
Because I'm as perfect as imperfect can be.

Not as perfect as I,
As so revealed by your shape --
Imperfect perfection,
Your own body you rape...
Cut to pieces, held together by plastic and tape.

We're both human beings,
Our flaws deep from within --
It's not just as shallow
As the depth of our skin...
We're all perfectly imperfect,
Always have, always been --
Imperfectly perfect,
From the outside within. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Freak-of-the-Week [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Ah, such truth. I have to say I agree
with your thoughts here.......

ALL are imperfect, despite the perfection
we pursue.

Great poem, enjoyed reading it.
