As If You Could Put the Pieces Together AgainBroken hearts have become clichés, especially in poetry, leading to ![]() bad verse, maudlin movies, and stories students turn in for a first- ![]() year creative writing course. But in the long term, it’s not the ![]() hearts that break that much matter. Instead, it’s the lawn ![]() mower belt that cracks in two when you’re halfway through your yard on ![]() a Saturday afternoon, but not just any Saturday afternoon, as you later ![]() relate to your relatives, but the afternoon before the family ![]() reunion you were supposed to host that night. Or it’s ![]() the toilet that overflows on an ordinary Tuesday evening ![]() as you prepare for bed, keeping you up hours past your planned ![]() bedtime the night before the pivotal presentation to your boss. ![]() Unlike Humpty Dumpty, hearts can and are put back together again and ![]() again, but your sore knee will haunt you for the rest of your days. |
