One Is All I See
by Derrick Betting


perfection
is pretending-

a grain in a million
a billion
a trillion

but one
only one
I see
imperfection
a trick to your eye

illusion-

a grain in a million
this one
jagged-jaded
sun-burned brown

a gander beyond
normalness
reveals truth
in “one in a million”

pretending is
not
perfection
.
