words can't thread structure
into such a patchwork
so don't unwind
them from the spool

leave the scraps
loose let them
float they'll drift
so far circle
the earth meet
again as one

exposure to every if
will guide needle and
thread style and stitch
coherence and strength

The author's comments:
Everyone has that experience when they're too emotionally conflicted to speak coherently, think logically, or act responsibly. That's what this is about, for me, at least.
