Just when I think
I've got myself together,
I recover another piece
that had been forgotten about.

Did these fragments
break themselves off?
Or was it the words of another
that caused them to flee?

I left this chink
to wear and weather
as thoughts increase
amidst a mental drought.

In my absence
the scrap scoffed,
thinking it had its own rudder,
trying to be its own me.
