mitosis- the division of self

Divide,
Divide
         step to the side.
but exact copy
is made;
            ripping of self, division.
to think
inside
millions of you
                      are ripping apart
               yourself

to think
just now,
           millions more
           of your own flaws
           are rplicated
           reciprocated
                              and kept

can one run from self
if one divides self?
                     
peeling apart,
a copying of sorts
                          no long what was, but now, how does one decide
                          which daughter was first
                          and which to leave behind?
mitosis is...
mitosis is...
                the division of cells?
my crisis is
               the division of self.
