The plate’s cracked.

It is  Is there a problem

It’s broken.

Ill take it

It’s broken.

As I said Ill take it

You don’t have another plate?

Thats not the question is it

Not the question? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

What do you do with your cracked plates which dont weep

Weep, cracked, what are you talking about, what are you getting at?

Im getting at nothing  I invited you for a bite to eatnothing more  You said the plates cracked  It still has its integrity  It still functions  It can do its jobthe purpose of its life  Ill cut no life short unless it begs me to I do so

You’re getting in way over your head.

I submit you are 

                  Please elaborate upon the cracked plate that has never been here nor there since the crackthe fissure first presented they rolled their eyes   Please

I am simply pointing out it is broken.

he smiled wryly 

             An youve not been broken on occasion
