Let's Put It To A Vote

By Michael Seese

A "micropoem" I wrote has been selected for inclusion in the upcoming issue of Poetry Nook Magazine. The editor made a suggestion for a text change. I'm not sure if I like it better than the original, or not.

So I thought I would put it to a vote.

The two versions differ by only one word (technically, one letter) and one piece of punctuation. I won't say whose is whose. 

They are:

as much as i try
i cannot unshatter
the glass of my life

OR

as much as i try
i cannot unshatter
the glass, or my life


Please leave a comment as to which you prefer.
