stitch in time
whatever slender thread
keeps me tied to the earth
is fraying
stitch in time
whatever slender thread
keeps me tied to the earth
is fraying
Comments
slough off every day
soon that thread will snap
and off i’ll go
weightless
invisible
completely irrelevant
another bit of junk
cluttering up the cosmos
my fingers fall far short of nimble
they say a stitch in time saves nine
if you can sew and you are willing
a stitch in time will save one
