..hang loose, a
shoelace makes for a good noose.

Which or whatever you'll never decide
they'll think that you died
years ago.

So you backtrack for a comeback,
but somebody got there
before you.

keep your shoelaces near
walk barefoot
talk
share, but
be wary.

I'm awake now somehow,
the light doesn't frighten,
doesn't brighten the night
either.

I'm getting shot of the lot of the collections I made and will start to collect something more
before the day comes knocking at the door behind where
I'm knotting the laces in case anyone's there.

Hanging loose..
