Thought everything,
\nWas going fine,
\n’til I took an overview,
\nOf introspect.<\/p>\n
What did I expect?
\nTo escape what’s due?
\nSo, I thought I’d sew,
\nA stitch in time,
\nAnd, fix that,
\nWhich I call mine,
\nPulling the needle through,
\nBut… what?!!?!
\nThe thread,
\nHas no knot,
\nThough I’ve racked my head,
\nNow I know,
\nThere’s nothing,
\nI can do,
\nNo. Not…
\nA single thing,
\nWithin view.<\/p>\n
Thought everything,
\nWas going fine,
\n’til I took an overview,
\nOf introspect.<\/p>\n
With due respect,
\nYou’re a cause, too,
\nPeering in my window,
\nIt is you,
\nCasting a shadow,
\nSo, if you don’t mind,
\nI hope you’ll be kind,
\nAnd, let the light shine through?<\/p>\n
Then, give me a hand,
\nWith a thing of two?
\nIt appears all,
\nHas come undone,
\nSo, just for fun,
\nI’ll try to settle,
\nOur balance due,
\nAnd, though it may seem sublime,
\nI’ll try to sew a stitch in time!<\/p>\n
Thimble to needle,
\nPush, push, pull,
\nBut, once past the sticking point,
\nThe thread,
\nJust keeps passing,
\nUnhindered,
\nContinuing,
\nBecause the filament,
\nHas no knot,
\nSurely, this was not meant…
\nNot meant to be,
\nThe end of me.<\/p>\n
Will the stars anoint,
\nWill my soul be led,
\nCan I conjure,
\nOur deus?
\n“Ohhhh… please help us!
\nAnd, ensure,
\nMy head is fed,
\nWith a settlement.”<\/p>\n
No. Not to beg for help,
\nThat was not my plan,
\nNo. Not to squeal and yelp —
\nA pathetic (little) man,
\nNo. Not to beg for mercy,
\nFor what we’ve done,
\nNo. Not to wince in fear,
\nTrembling from anxiety,
\nNo. Not to shed a tear,
\nOver my self-pity,
\nNo. Not no.
\nUh Oh…
\nNo.
\nNot no.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
