They
break me into pieces
Small
pieces
Smaller
enough for them to swallow
They
break me into small sensational breaking news
Into
gut-wrenching ten seconds sound bites
Into
boldly printed fat headlines
Into
an object of perverse fascination
Suitable
for emphatic analysis
Perfect
for scathing debates
They
break me
Because
they can’t take me whole
My
imperfect completeness petrifies them
It
scares them out of their wits
Terrifies
them to their spine
And
when one is scared
I
understand
One
shouts for one's mother only
