Things and stuff

Each of us has broken things,
accidentally.

In a shoebox ignored but kept,
rattled from apartment A to E,
fine cracks form, widen, form anew.

Things already relegated by uselessness,
or unique and rare usefulness
we only realize with need,

we find in pieces,

a practical puzzle I guess,
says the optimist;

but practice and time says the realist;

how puzzling says the pessimist,
possible though.
Possible though.
