A Balance of Harmonies: Stronger than you think

Someone set a vase of flowers in the kiosk with “BOK BROKE” written on it, but in such a way (between the handwriting and the expensive card it was written on, I read it as Brooke, so I left it alone. Hours later I asked someone about it and she looked and read the word correctly and we spent several seconds trying to find the break (a tiny chip out of a bottom corner).

I feel kind of silly misreading it, but not too bad. I’m sure I would have figured it out in a second if it had read “BROKEN.” Broke doesn’t even work. What’s wrong with the vase? It’s broke? No. It’s broken.
