When words form
but the voice is muted,
strings of sentences -
like loose lengths of yarn,
just swimming...
swirling in the currents
of the wash.
They meet,
they connect,
they get tangled up
with each other.
What had before made sense
now swells larger,
more intricate,
more tiresome.
It all converges
into a ******
as the spin cycle ends.
What’ll emerge
is a convoluted mess.
I’m a mess.
And then,
I get hung out to dry.
