Sometimes the Answer Just Clicks

You mirror the wreckage well.
Solve the problem the hard way,
Then check it the easy way.

If the check shows you were wrong,
Go back around the hard way.
That’s the swiftest way to learn.

Outside the window, the wreckage
Sprawls from the cliffs and glistens
In a cold rain. It’s sliding

All the time, but only some
Rare moments it really slides,
Then settles in place again.
