Breaks
Things break all the time.
Glass, and dishes, and fingernails.
Cars and contracts and potato chips.
You can break a record, a horse, a dollar.
You can break the ice.
There are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks.
Day breaks, waves break, voices break.
Chains can be broken.
So can silence, and fever.
Trust, and mirrors, and china plates.
You can break a cup, a plate, a bowl.
Everything can break.
Restroom breaks and water breaks.
Diamonds, rhinestones, all rocks can break.
Weak or strong.
Hard or soft.
Words can break things.
Lies break trust.
Things said cause skin to break...
Promises break...
Hearts break...
Everything.
Eventually..
Breaks...
