Bended Bone

A Poem by Jacob Nimble
"

subtitled Microfractures

"

Fight me now that we may both grow strong

disharmony builds

necessity is the mother of invention

in peace we can best use what we have learned for better goals

but without the stress of battle, there is complacency

if I pick the wrong enemies

then I will construct the wrong tools

and if I pick too weak of enemies

there will be no real challenge

and so, I pick the two foes who match me best

one who is me, from a mirrored edge

and myself

because a mirror changes the perspective

and the view

but it does not see

and so, cannot reflect

good or evil

perhaps one day I will have a third opponent

who challenges me enough to build me

and harmonizes enough that I can use the tools they teach

perhaps

perhaps not.
