...

The parts that want to
live
and the parts that want to
die
live
side by side.
This is what keeps us strong.
Once, on TV
                     I watched a show about bones,
                                                                       how they are made and unmade
                                                                       at the same time.
                                                                       How are they made and unmade at the same time?
                                                                       They are made and unmade
                                                                                      made and unmade
                                                                                      made and unmade
                                                                                    
at the same time.
This is what keeps us strong.
Cells called osteoblasts
create bone
as others, osteoclasts
dissolve bone.
This is what keeps us strong:
This merciless roller coaster of destruction and renewal.
