Ode to String:


What is the string for?
To tie my shoe
To secure my sleeping bag
A guy rope
A piece if square lashing
To carry my keys
To thread a rosary
That silly string that’s in space and its expandable in my hand
To fasten up a curtain rail
To tie a roast chicken leg
To hang a bunch of thyme to dry
To hitch a pair of trousers
Or a horse
To make a telephone with a tin Can
car phone string
Computer string
Machine string with plug
Crochet string for waistcoats and bed spreads
Macramé string for hanging plant pots
String that connects us all together
String that unites us all
Dust string
Of shared ancestry
String connected community
String connected relationships
String of time
String of washing and notes on a stave
String of life
String of heaven
String of death

O death, where is thy string?
