There is no such thing as a flaw

 

If there was a such this as

perfect

 

it would be found in the

simple

 

A child’s smile

a mother’s love

a father’s protection

 

if perfect

could be theorized philosophically

placed into linguistic terms

there could be no words

no label grand enough

no construction simple enough

save only laughter

 

if perfect

could be understood mathematically

it would be either be a 1 or a 0

no other representations yields the same

universal and instant ease of understanding

that children instinctually grasp the idea

 

yet

 

the same children

when grown

could spend  their life exploring the complexities

 

 

If perfect

could be known on a spiritual level

it would be that moment one realizes there is a god

ascending to level of worship and devotion

others mistake them for the god they serve

 

or

 

it would be that moment when one rejects all divinity

professing that all in creation is not of creation

but of nature and nurture

the only guiding force is the will to survive  

 

If perfect

could be expressed in dance or music

there would only be

one motion

one note

maybe none

stillness

silence

 

If perfect

could be expressed on canvas or in stone

it would be such that the work would

never be started

untouched

maybe never completed

unfinished

 

Perfect

is as simple as knowing that one can never see one’s own face

what one knows as one’s one image

is only a reflection

what’s more is that a person is the only person that can never see ones own image

yet all they encounter sees them exactly as they are

exactly as they never can

 

Perfect perfection

is realization

not thought

not contemplation

 

Perfection is everything labeled imperfect

 

The only imperfect thing

is the word its self
