Cracks

When iza saw somebody fixing the pavement bricks yesterday, she wondered why the bricks cracked.
"Everything ages, non-living things are not exceptional.
Plastics, metal, concrete age.
Like our bones, they may crack when we become old.
Or just like leaves, they become crispy..."
I thought that it is universal.

"mama, water does not crack!"
iza simply replied.

There was a blink.
