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?
