Legos
]Interchangeable people,
ephemeral parts,
segmented smiles
flash
the bait
of transient fraternity.
It means nothing -
less than nothing -
because they are
not
the sum
of their wandering segments.
Nothing ventured
nothing gained
but the
loss
of mercurial people
with interchangeable hearts.

I love both the metaphorical and literal meaning of this. I first read hearts as parts (I have a house full of Lego parts from a grandson, and still on my first cup of tea), so am glad I reread it slowly.
I admire your ability to say so much in relation to humanity in so few words. In addition to emphasis, I admired the jagged form and equated it to strewn pieces, some individual, some linked with others, the majority incomplete.
