""Many things in life are broken. Sometimes it's because they were delicate but fragile. Sometimes it's because the pieces didn't fit together. Sometimes they're made of smaller things that don't even notice the break. Sometimes they were made wrong, and sometimes they were made exactly as intended. Sometimes the shards are beautiful. Shards is a collection of poems about science, math, capitalism, and this mindboggling thing called life. Lets break them into shards and see what makes them tick. Maybe we'll put them back together again. Maybe we'll leave them just the way they are.""
