" Knotting and Unknotting "...

" Knotting and Unknotting "

Knotting
and unknotting
the near and the far

as coefficients
of tolerance
and intolerance
with far more qualms
in common

having once
been held hostage
at birthday parties
while bearing bottles

bottoms up
for the stubbornly
up-and-coming
with skepticism
plus reluctance
to open up

like conundrums
just at the tip
of the tongue

crackling
thunder claps
after zigzagging
jagged flashes
slashing at landmarks
given to eavesdropping...
