Braking

New brakes today
make stopping easier 
(and my wallet lighter)

brakes on spring break
reminding us of the need 
to stop
to brake before breaking

in a broken system it's 
too easy 
to become broken and
the breaks aren't enough to 
unbreak the system
but then can serve to 
bind us up to
make it to the next break
    (without breaking)

  1. I love your play with brake and break. The idea of spring break as a way to brake before breaking is powerful.
