Perfection

Expression and perfection
Must be synonymous

If not —
Perfection of an expression
Is impossible

This expression, here
Is not perfect — can never be perfect
It cannot be made
More perfect, or less

Because perfection is what
This expression is

If not —
Then the only perfect expression
Must be that
Which is not expression at all

And even that —
Is an expression

Perfection
