I am now posting my poems also on a new Facebook page. I invite y'all to join us here:
Tangled
The stiff,
plastic coated metal bends
but does not intertwine
as readily as the clear,
thin, fishing line.
Blunt fingers
can pry apart
the rolling curves
of cables,
but are innocuous
to the minuscule,
tightly wrapped threads.
The random interactions
and coincidences
of curving time
has brought the linear flow
to this fuzzy spot,
without direction,
into fixed, solid orbits.
Even the nimble surrender,
to cut
the growths loose
rather than free them.
-Robert L. Jackson III
