jigsaw

bitter and caustic
vile sarcastic
pieces and pieces
that do not fit
splayed like a corpse
on a table of cold steel
dead inside
still able to feel
the pieces rearranged
still do not fit
carve out some more
polish a bit
jiggle it together
hammer it in
break it and shake it
and hammer again
mutation on a cellular level
the dead is not the living
the living are the dead
all of them crowd around
a table in my head
shall we play cards now, one says
but every card is a joker
so they all laugh

If you met every you, every version of you, would it be a fun meeting?
