This way that way this… A messed up loop Tangled yarn Start over Start over This way that way loop A single strand of knots Tiny small and insignificant Like a row with sharp teeth Yarn sticking out like thorns This way that way circle around A hat? A scarf? A useless blob. So in fact a blanket Start over start over That way this was form a line Smooth without deformity Twist it knot it loop it You have yourself a blanket? It’s not a knife but it could stab Keeps poking your finger How do elderly do this You don’t have the patience. Start over start over This way that That way this You have yourself and afternoon An afternoon so tangled You can’t move Now cozy by a fireplace Wrapped in what you tell people is indeed A very well made… blanket?
