Bits and Bobs

 

Bits and bobs,

love that phrase.

It speaks to my mindset

at the moment.

I read an excerpt from the

forward to the new edition

of _House on Mango Street_.

Cisneros writes:

... to write stories 

that ignore borders

between genres spoken and written,

between highbrow literature

and children's  nursery rhymes...

She experiments, creating a text

that is succinct and flexible as poetry,

snapping sentences into fragments...

Rewinding back to short rows

my knitting is succinct and flexible

and knit in fragments.

One could conclude

that my writing and my knitting

and probably my thinking are

all in harmony: fragmented.

I am best served by nursery rhymes.

Bits and bobs...
