The Nature of Perfection


Perfection is,

They say,

Unachievable

Because everything

Possesses flaws.

Perfection is,

I say,

The release

Of the obsession-

Perfection is subjection.

 

Perfection is,

The dictionary says:

‘The condition, state, or quality of being free

or as free as possible from all flaws or defects.’

 

But perfection is,

I say:

‘The condition, state, or quality of being free.’
