" Your's are not exclusive, we all contain defects. The tiny ones pass by without ever knowing the pain we cause. Larger ones...well those we need to work on, get over and figure out why we had them in the beginning. When we finally admit that we are not perfect and the world won't die if it does not revolve around us, we might have a chance. It's slim at best but isn't hopeless a defect too?"
The above piece of prose is by me 
...a telephone conversation with someone and yes again I over analyze everything. But...this is part of it that stayed with me and I wondered...could it inspire some real cool kick-arse poetry in free verse? I think you can do it.
So the prompt is: the verse and the word DEFECT
Are we all defective in someway, is there something not perfect that we know we could change in ourselves if we admit to having them??
I want to see where this takes all of you...Free Verse, Reserve if you would like and NO MORE THAN 20 LINES 
give or take of course...I won't yell I promise 
Have at it people!
Oh and proper credit and verse in your AN's thank you

I was asked "what was perfection in a human"? I told that person I have not a clue. That person told me. Perfection in a human is in their dreams. But to others our dreams are just a defect. We all may not be perfect but in o• Commented on by judge.

Do we defect from defects or accept the effect of defects as a normal deflection or reflection of humanity?

All depends on how you want me to deflect the defective comment you just posted
Nah take it any place you want too

but it isn't a freeverse kinda vibe ... How about prescribe a scribe that thrives on jive? Woo ... or has a beehive crammed up his hide ... slide in some diatribe that bends the spline ..
Yeah ... its almost midnight over yonder ... here, yep.
