Rona Garcia Pangilinan
PERFECT
Cracked vase glued together
Speech delivered with missing lines
Birthday tune that needs a ladder
Tears shed during happy times
Ironed shirt still full of creases
Missed spots on polished floor
Translation leads to nervous pauses
A smile can cure just like before
Breakfast served around the counter
Bar stools passed on to fellow diners
Unmask your fears
Unleash your laughter
Then see a piece of you in them all.
