I try, my absolute best
To weave it all together
So it can mirror common perfection
I even go the extra mile
To do it soft and steady
Re-do the uneven rows
But it always unravels
Every single thread, falling away
Tangling into a sprawling heap at my feet
And all it is again
Right from square one
Is a dismembered pile of yarn
Nothing more, nothing less
