#shoelace - Hello Poetry

there's probably something far deeper at work here something quite important and worth delving into to be explored more thoroughly consequentially consciously instead i'll probably just end up thinking about that shoelace in my boot the one that still needs to be replaced ragged and frayed as it is and i'll wonder how long i can ignore it before it finally snaps and i'm left with no choice anymore

the quandary of shoelaces

first, take the two strings and twine them together. next, pull them apart so that they’re connected at the bottom. last, make the two strings do an intricate dance, until one of them is inextricably trapped in a loop that can no longer be fixed by tugging at it and instead you have to find the end and pull hard so that you can leave the situation, even though at that point you still have to untangle yourself from the original twining which is often harder than the initial tug. Now your shoelaces are tied.

how to tie a shoelace

first, take the two strings and twine them together. next, pull them apart so that they’re connected at the bottom. last, make the two strings do an intricate dance, until one of them is inextricably trapped in a loop that can no longer be fixed by tugging at it and instead you have to find the end and pull hard so that you can leave the situation, even though at that point you still have to untangle yourself from the original twining which is often harder than the initial tug.

At 2am he asks me how I am I avoid the question by saying im in bed eating a bag of shredded cheese I figured it would answer its self I look into my brain, mental instability on the top shelf He looks inside his to find what to say back to her- “Is i️t cheddar?” It’s mild- i️m wild ive got the heart of a child when they see a dog at the shelter It’s my responsibility to fall in love with her And him and you and everybody i see Im a ******* pisces Im going to wake up with cheese all over my ******* bed My horoscope said “if you don’t swim for something, you’ll drown for anything” Stop holding my head underwater Go find pearl jam and have them call me daughter And I’ll wear the shoe laces of a queen Im a sane mother’s wet dream despite the neon static in my head and the spiratic crumbs in my bed “No eating in bed” they said Then hit me with a shovel, plug the hdmi chord into my ear and watch my chemical dreams on the big screen in the neighbors backyard Shove a joint in my eye as a thank you card and turn the volume up Throw me in the back of a pick up truck Then tape my hand to a gas guzzling motorcycle maybe it will help me sleep Keep the helmet on the seat No drinking for lent and on sundays don’t cheat Beat me with a golf club sell me on stubhub I might have a talent or two But soon I’ll fall off of my thrown, theres something missing from my shoes I find the white lines tied to a pipe Seperating a head from a body A shoelace in this case was worn by an undeserving daughter Slaughtered by a helpful string “Turn off that thing” the neighbors screamed “Stop her mind” **** was just getting good, mind you Rip down the screen, pull out my ear too Put the shoelaces back on my shoe Theres nothing to see here but a disturbed dream With shredded cheese at the crime scene

About a Dream

At 2am he asks me how I am I avoid the question by saying im in bed eating a bag of shredded cheese I figured it would answer its self I look into my brain, mental instability on the top shelf He looks inside his to find what to say back to her- “Is i️t cheddar?” It’s mild- i️m wild ive got the heart of a child when they see a dog at the shelter It’s my responsibility to fall in love with her And him and you and everybody i see Im a ******* pisces Im going to wake up with cheese all over my ******* bed My horoscope said “if you don’t swim for something, you’ll drown for anything” Stop holding my head underwater Go find pearl jam and have them call me daughter And I’ll wear the shoe laces of a queen Im a sane mother’s wet dream despite the neon static in my head and the spiratic crumbs in my bed “No eating in bed” they said Then hit me with a shovel, plug the hdmi chord into my ear and watch my chemical dreams on the big screen in the neighbors backyard Shove a joint in my eye as a thank you card and turn the volume up Throw me in the back of a pick up truck Then tape my hand to a gas guzzling motorcycle maybe it will help me sleep Keep the helmet on the seat No drinking for lent and on sundays don’t cheat Beat me with a golf club sell me on stubhub I might have a talent or two But soon I’ll fall off of my thrown, theres something missing from my shoes I find the white lines tied to a pipe Seperating a head from a body A shoelace in this case was worn by an undeserving daughter Slaughtered by a helpful string “Turn off that thing” the neighbors screamed “Stop her mind” **** was just getting good, mind you Rip down the screen, pull out my ear too Put the shoelaces back on my shoe Theres nothing to see here but a disturbed dream With shredded cheese at the crime scene

Hold my hands And tie Our shoelace fingers Into knots, So that I may never Leave your side.

Fading Memories

Alzheimer's headaches Brain tangled like my headphones Tied like a shoelace

falling shoelace gets knotted and strung between the fingers of strangers, likewise your soul. it floats feverishly among faded skies and loses its anchor. if the night isn't so unforgiving, i might come out and say hello.

A Shoelace Knot (An English Assignment) A shoelace dangles between my fingers. It is my gift to you this Valentine. It's a bit muddy, stinks of sock and is coloured a fading blue The aglets still remain, but are worn with use, something like my feelings for you. I know you love cheesiness and chocolate, But accept it, my love, for it belongs to the shoe, that led me to where you stood. Tie it around your wrist, so that I'll stay around you, in your mind, around your beating pulse, lest you forget all the journeys we undertook. Look. The string is tearing at places, but we'll just tie a knot again. We'll be inseparable and true. I fall with your fall, and you match your footsteps to mine, because like the tied shoelace, our lives are tangled and knotted. Accept my gift, an old shoelace and tie us together Tight.
