On Ropes - Poems

1.

How did I get in such a tangled mess?

where did my loom lock up

shuttle skip beats

warp miss woof

2.

I took the rope 

I made some knots

I tied it tight

grounded

going nowhere

3.

If you see a rope

being dangled before you

run

run fast

run far

and for god's sake

don't grab a hold.

4.   A Television Advertisement on Ropes

Tied up?

no need to

untangle

untie

unknot.

get smart.

let go that rope.
