"Art does not reflect the visible; rather, it makes visible" ~Paul Klee
I have a prose poem on this exact subject. I'll bring it in a email it to you later.
Haven't we all been broken - and aren't we stronger?Besides some of us like the 'less-than-perfect' best of all.
Finally! Here's my handling of the topic. this is an early slam piece, so it's quite rough, but you get the idea:Broken TeapotHow many times can you breakthe teapot and glueit back together again?When will it ceaseto hold the tea?A visitor can losehis temper and break it upon the grate.Or it might slipthrough your handswhen you weren't paying attention.By now the lid doesn't fitright, and there's more glue than porcelain.The handle is completelydemolished after you throwit against the wall(Why you did that,your're still not sure)Again it goes crashingwhen the children runthrough the room.I guess by now it's timefor a new teapot.But the problem is,They don't makethat particular patteranymore.

Broken Teapot
How many times can you break
the teapot and glue
it back together again?
When will it cease
to hold the tea?
A visitor can lose
his temper and break
it upon the grate.
Or it might slip
through your hands
when you weren't paying attention.
By now the lid doesn't fit
right, and there's more
glue than porcelain.
The handle is completely
demolished after you throw
it against the wall
(Why you did that,
your're still not sure)
Again it goes crashing
when the children run
through the room.
I guess by now it's time
for a new teapot.
But the problem is,
They don't make
that particular patter
anymore.
