The Fractured Man


from the ABC set Refelections on Life

Fractured from conception;
fallen from Singularity into this illusion of loneliness;
how could I be anything other than a man of many parts?

Blind to the truth,
I am become a discontinuity,
a set of frozen roles along a nonexistent axis of time.

Who has the power to grasp
this scintillating cloud of disparate shards
and make of them a whole man?
