 I See The Cracks
Dan Johnson
© 26 September, 2013


Cracks In the sidewalk running their jagged edges in such a crazy course

Cracks on the mirror show me what vanity tries to hide.

Cracks within my soul, my head, my heart...mayhem reigns.

My brother says mayhem is a strong word...yet, I see all of the cracks.

Cracks just beget cracks....a pantina , a timelessness short of completely crumbling. Like dignified wrinkles on a face, ah yes, cracks we can only hope we don't fall through. Enjoyed this!

the lovely thing that this poem says to me is that all these cracks and jagged edges are displays of, courage to 'live' and weather the experience with such strength as to not crumble...simply showing a few cracks that indicate character and persevereance.

Aren't cracks simply signs that things move, breath, live? Yes, mayhem reigns, but there is in a cosmic sense, order in that. You seem to have a panoramic, insightful view of it ... well put.

Better to see the cracks and mend them then to ignore that they exist.

Even though they seem random, even the cracks have a chaotic order to them. A destined path, if you will.
Mayhem is created by the perceived randomness and our attitude towards it.
Good job Dan, and remember....crack kills

I see all the warts, pimples and freckles, too. But I don't see the farts. ;-)
