symmetry

we have to break symmetry.

we break it when we pierce one side of the nose;

we do it for culture, beauty, ourselves.

we break it when we work one leg more than the other;

we do it because we can't help it.

we break it when one side of the teacup stains from use;

we do it because it's easy.

we break it when we sleep alone, on the same side of the bed;

we do it and cope with loss.

we break it when we grow out of a single cell;

we do it to be born.

we break it when blood that left the heart doesn't find its way back;

we do it in death.

we have to break symmetry.
