I like the dharma of broken things
The reminders of impermanence
The busted-up places and the torn-down buildings.

Give me angles and jagged surface over smooth 
Planes and perfection any day.  Show me the crack in everything 
And play me the sound of breaking glass.  
There's a smell and a taste to demolition, 
And a shock of recognition when we experience it anew.

Give me a book of matches and I'll burn the whole place down,
Just to show that it can be done.
