Broken

Broken Broken glass, torn jeans, a weathered hat All once beautiful Glass, maybe a work of art in a museum, bringing beauty to a bare wall. That perfect pair of jeans, that fit your body like a glove, and when we wear them we shine as a movie starlet That perfect cowboy hat shaped to perfection, picked from a five and dime that has character of an old western movie, when worn you swear you can smell the stale liquor from old west saloons All once shiny as a new penny... Broken as in "Broken in" or damaged? One persons trash is another person's treasure. What appears to be damaged just may be character. Character I give you me. Broken
