A Hundred-Year, Minute-Long Intermission - Forgive Durden

Place your head on mine

Untie your mind

Let your bloated brain

Balloon and float away

(Float away…)

Wet the end of the thread

Thimble upon your index

Feed the line through inside

Draw it from the other side…

Pull the strand to satisfy

The need to compose

This entire naive glow

(Set the needle…)

Set the needle on its path

Bobbing up and down and past

Tears and seams all turned to one

Every stitch and each spool spun
