I dropped the roll of toilet paper and
to retrieve it from my sitting position
I had to delicately balance pulling it
toward me without making it just unspool
further and further and further away
it was a better metaphor for life
than I could ever write on purpose
the push and pull and hope that
you can bring it back toward you
without unraveling it all instead
