Life As A Shoelace
Copyright 2001 by Jon Gill

It’s hard to be a shoelace –
   No time for anything
   Always tied up

Often speechless –
   Don’t know what to say
   I’m always tongue-tied

How can one expect me
   To hold anything together
   When I’m always so wound up?

Indeed, I find almost
   Everything annoying,
   Living high strung…
Will I ever find peace?

No, I’m a frayed knot.
