"Irony [is] the song of a prisoner who's come to love his cage" - David Foster Wallace


Towing along a string, or perhaps it me

I trembled before a visage

 

Nylon slipped and fell

 

The string of the story is gone, and maybe the remnants don’t strangle me

But I can’t help feeling

That so much is still unwoven

 

The frayed edges and mismatched threads

Patches of pristine among darkened paths

So much deserving of inspection, dropped in the end

By entropy, and failed contemplations

 

A trail I wanted to follow into unknown landscapes and enchanting, futile culdesacs

i’m sorry I didn’t handle the string with more care
